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
Andrew and Louise, a farmer and musician, moved back home and set out to make wines that reflect their personalities, a place, a time and all whilst maintaining a minimalistic approach to winemaking.
Having been volcanic around 6,000 years ago, Mount Gambier has an incredible geology and is quite unique in the context of Australia. The land is filled with pockets of water from underground caves, limestone rich and sustains a cool climate. The combination of all these factors lends itself to perfect growing conditions for growing certain grape varieties. The family follow old world wine methods, preferring the challenges of hand picking fruit, open fermenting with indigenous yeast and only adding sulphur when required by the wine and only source their grapes from organic parcels.
