Cheat Smart Wine

**I am in no way affiliated to this company, this is something I am simply passionate about**

I’ve been on the hunt for the best wines. By best I mean what tastes best to me and what is the healthiest on the market. Most wines test very high in molds and mycotoxins as well as extremely high in pesticides and preservatives. 

​Clean. Delicious. Guilt Free.

Our Farming Standards: Everything starts with the soil. Organically grown vines, nutrient dense earth, and a biodiverse ecosystem will create the best tasting fruit from sturdy vines. Natural Wine Growers never use any of the industrial modern practices that make up most of wine production, like chemical spraying, widespread irrigation, or advanced tilling.

Growers: We only work with small, family farmers who respect and prioritize Nature’s wellbeing. They work with their hands, honestly farming the land and using ancient winemaking techniques to craft raw wines reflecting the terroir.

Land: A Natural Vineyard is a unique, rare place. The soil is lighter, almost bouncy, with aerated dark rich organic matter. You can find plants, herbs, flowers, animals, and insects amongst the vines, encouraging a full ecosystem to flourish.

Dry Farming: Conventional wine companies engage in widespread irrigation to lower farming costs and increase fruit yield. Our growers do not irrigate, instead letting the vines find their natural water source. This practice is known as “dry farming.” Irrigation is unnecessary, bad for the planet, bad for the vine, and produces nutrient poor fruit.

Our Purity Standards: We consider sugar and alcohol to be toxins. Because we care about what we consume, we apply a rigorous testing protocol to every wine, including independent lab testing for sugar, alcohol, and sulfur levels. We only source wines that meet the following purity standards:

  • Statistically Sugar Free. Every wine is fermented completely dry, with less than 0.15 grams per 5oz glass. This includes rosé, sparkling, and white wine.
  • Lower Alcohol. With the national alcohol average nearing 15%, our wines never surpass 12.5% alc/vol, with some as low as 7%.
  • Lower Sulfites. Our wines average a very low 39 parts per million. In the US, by law sulfites are allowed in amounts up to 350 parts per million (ppm) in wine.
  • No Additives. While commercial wine companies may use up to 70+ FDA-approved additives, including thickeners and dyes, to create a shelf stable product.
  • All Native Yeast. Our pure Natural Wines are only fermented with wild, native yeast growing naturally on grapes. Commercial wines are fermented with GMO lab cultured yeasts.
