âA great primer. . . . If you're new to the natural/organic/biodynamic wine debates, Authentic Wine is the place to start.ââHuffington Post
âThis is one of the most engaging, thoughtful and enlightening books on contemporary wine. . . . A manifesto for an industry looking to shape its future.ââWine And Spirits
Naturalness is a hot topic in the wine world. But what exactly is a ânatural wineâ? For this pioneering book, best-selling wine writer Jamie Goode teams up with winemaker and Master of Wine Sam Harrop to explore the wide range of issues surrounding authenticity in wine. They begin by emphasizing that wineâs diversity, one of its strengths, is currently under threat from increasingly homogenized commercial wines that lack a sense of place. Drawing on a global array of examples and anecdotes, Goode and Harrop examine complex conceptsâterroir, biodynamics, and sustainabilityâin clear language. They also discuss topics including cultured and wild yeasts, wine âfaults,â the carbon footprint of the wine industry, ânaturalâ as a marketing concept, and more. Authentic Wine illuminates a subject of great interest to wine producers, consumers, and anyone wondering where the wine industry is headed.
