Natural Wine? Oh, You’re About to Fall in Love
Let’s set the record straight: natural wine isn’t new—it’s ancient, punk rock, and straight-up sexy. We’re talking no makeup, just vibes. Grapes doing their thing, wild yeasts running wild, minimal intervention and max personality. Natural wine is the friend who shows up barefoot to brunch and somehow pulls it off.
And right now? It’s having a major moment. So if you’re ready to flirt with fermentation, buckle up—this is Natural Wine 101, Revival-style.
So...What Is Natural Wine, Exactly?
Natural wine is like that cool cousin of traditional wine who doesn’t show up to family dinners, but when they do, everyone suddenly wants to hear about mushrooms and astrology.
At its core, natural wine means:
✅ Organic or biodynamic farming
✅ Native (wild) yeast fermentation
✅ No chemical additives (none of that Mega Purple or powdered tannins mess)
✅ Low or no sulfites added
✅ Little to no filtering or fining (yes, it might look cloudy—that’s character, baby)
It’s not a style, it’s a philosophy. One where the winemaker steps back and lets the grape—and the earth it grew in—speak loud and clear.
These wines are alive, unpredictable, wild, and full of soul. Sometimes fizzy. Sometimes funky. Always honest.Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
Three Natural Wines You Need to Try at Revival
We’ve got plenty on our list, but if you're dipping a toe in the wild wine waters, here are three stars that’ll make you cancel your 7:30 dinner plans and stay for one more glass (or bottle):
Martha Stoumen “Honeymoon” – California
Call this one “sunshine in silk pajamas.” It’s an offbeat white made with Colombard and Chardonnay from old California vines, fermented with native yeasts and zero BS. It’s juicy, slightly hazy, and hits with floral notes, a touch of funk, and a honeyed finish that lingers like a good compliment.
Why it slaps: You’ve never had a white wine this soulful and alive. It’s clean but not sterile. Playful, but profound.
Pairs with: Soft cheeses, scandalous texts, and soft jazz you pretend not to like.
📍 Available by the glass or bottle at Revival.
Sons of Wines “404 Pét-Nat” – France
This is the wild child of the sparkling wine world. 100% natural fermentation, bottled mid-bubble so it gets fizzy without the industrial champagne treatment. It's pink, fizzy, and a little chaotic—in the best way.
Tastes like: Juicy raspberries, springtime rebellion, and doing the electric slide on a rooftop at 2PM.
Why it’s a must: Pét-nat is the gateway drug to the natural wine world, and “404” is glitchy, gritty, and gorgeous. Get it before it disappears.
Pairs with: Oysters, brunch shenanigans, and “accidentally” liking someone’s 2016 Instagram post.
Stolpman “Love You Bunches Red” – California
The people’s red. Served chilled (yes, on purpose), it’s a carbonic macerated Sangiovese with cherry cola vibes, a little bubblegum bounce, and zero tannic tantrums. Easy-drinking, dangerously fun, and just the right amount of naughty.
Why we’re obsessed: It's approachable AF. Even your “I only drink white wine” friend will be sipping this and reconsidering their life choices.
🍕 Pairs with: Pizza, patios, and last-minute group texts that lead to the best nigh
