VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic or biodynamic practices.
-
SKIN CONTACT
The skins of the grapes can form part of the fermentation process. Unlike conventional white wine, natural winemakers will often leave skins of the grapes for part (or all) of the fermentation, the result is a cloudy and tannin filled wine.
-
FILTERING
The filtering of the wine to remove particles post fermentation. Filtering particles may be aesthetically pleasing, but is often viewed as ‘unnatural’ and not filtering is said to create a more unique wine.
-
FINING
Fining wines uses an agent (often gelatin or bentonite) to attract miniscule solids and join them together. Again this is seen as ‘unnatural’.
-
SULPHUR
The amount of sulfur added to the wine. The affect of suplphites in wine on the human body is one of the most debated and researched parts of the winemaking process. Conventional wines often present up to 300mg per litre of wine.
-
YEAST
The type of yeast used. Imported or wild. Yeast is crucial to break down grape sugars into alcohol. Wild yeast, relies on it naturally occuring as part of the fruit harvested. Although harder to execute, it’s often part of a natural winemaker’s process.

About the maker
Travis Tausend closed his preminenet cafe in Adelaide to focus on minimal intervention wine back in 2015. Now, with organically sourced grapes, Travis is delivering delcious natural wines year in year out.
Travis embarked on his dream of becoming a wine maker, sourcing organic fruit and borrowing equipment to start the journey. Now in 2018 we see the progression to fully managing part of the vineyard in Hope Forest where he has been purchasing organic fruit since 2016 and his own winery shed to call home. For me Travis is making some of the most exciting wines in Australia and we are extremely proud to represent him.
