VINEYARD HEALTH
Cultivation of the wine grapes. Almost all wines at NOTWASTED implement organic, biodynamic or regenerative vineyard 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
Beginning as a family hobby, with the family having migrated from a small village in Greece, Ari longed for the wine he made and was drinking whilst growing up. So in 1985 began Ari's Natural Wine Co.
Ari, with son Tony, 30 years after making wine in Australia finally decided it was time to open this special family product to the public and Ari's Natural Wine Co was born. The focus for the family is on sourcing fruit from like-minded growers in the Southern Highlands, Goulburn and Murrumbateman. All the fruit is hand harvested and the whole process is undertaken by hand with no electricity or pumps used. It's underpinned by one simple saying 'nothing added, nothing taken away'. All the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered, unfined and no sulphur added at any stage.
