“Wine From Here” trailer on Vimeo
Through interviews of natural wine producers in their own working environment, the vineyard and the winery, this movie reveals a budding natural wine movement. Passionate natural wine producers explain how they differ from other California wine producers, underlying the importance of organic and sustainable farming, the use of native yeasts during fermentation of the grapes, and the stingy use of sulfur.
Disclosure: this documentary is the brain child of Martin Carel, an ex-coworker and friend of mine. :)
