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
Starting as a little side project to his like as a chef, Brendan Cato sources high quality fruit from various hot spots around New South Wales.
Even after working as a chef, Brendan already has experience working vintages in France and Italy since 2014 and so spinning his own up was a natural progression. The fruit is hand-picked from sites in Orange, Mudgee, Canowindra and Brendan's first two vintages were done using his mate's equipment at Mecca Coffee in Sydney's Inner West. Carto wines are a perfect balance between complexity and drinkability. The wines are really outrageous value for what they offer in terms of flavour, liveliness, on point acidity and made to be sipped young.
