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
2019 Young Gun of Wine peoples' choice award, South by South West produce small batch wines that strongly represent the terroir of the Margaret River by sourcing quality grapes and following the new-age minimal intervention approach.
The combination of Livia and Mijan, one an engineering consultant and the other a designer, seems to have created a recipe for incredible winemaking. Since 2016, it has been their sole purpose to deliver the best possible expression of the south west region through the fruit they source and wines they make. The duo spent years travelling to many countries learning about the different climates, soils, grapes and techniques in order to shape the way they make wine today. From contemporary to traditional techniques, those they liked and even those they didn't like, Liv and Mijan put into practice those they saw best fit to tell a story about a region.
