The Pri-Approved Vegan Wine Bundle
Add an Ice Pack
Introducing our unique partnership collection with Priyanka Naik! Priyanka is a self-taught plant-based and eco-conscious chef, Food Network victor, Quibi Dishmantled champ, TV personality, author of The Modern Tiffin, columnist for 'Ecokitchen' at The Washington Post, speaker, and globetrotter.
In this collection you'll get the following:Â
Marquesa 2022 - A unique orange wine with aromatic pear and baked apple notes with a hint of cinnamon. Good acidity, persistent, and a lingering aftertaste.
Allè 2020 - The grapes in this wine have been hand-selected from historic vineyards owned by the Rallo family that date back to 1860. Maturation in old French oak barrels gives the wine elegance and enhances the aromas. Straw yellow in color with shimmers of orange. Lively and fresh on the palate.
Light Red 2020 - We love "the new California wine" because these winemakers adopt the very best practices from the Old World—practices developed from hundreds of years of tradition—and then throw away the rulebook to make batshit-crazy deliciousness. Case in point: Vinca Minor's unholy trinity of "Carignan, Petite Sirah, GewĂĽrztraminer."Â

About Natural Wine
Great question! There are a lot of definitions for natural wine with the main term you'll hear being that it has had minimal intervention. To be more specific, our definition is that the wine must first be sustainably farmed, which typically means it was organically or biodynamically farmed.
Then, in the cellar the natural winemaking process has some differences as well! The wine is typically unfined, unfiltered, and goes through spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts. If you want to know more about what natural wine is, we have an entire guide under our reference section!
The short answer is that natural wine can taste like any other kind of conventional wine (we like to call these stealth natural wines) or it can taste quite a bit different, as production methods can vary and potentially be lighter, or in a style you've never had before (like orange, pet-nat or amphora).
The natural wine community is also more accepting of some qualities in wines that conventional would consider a flaw, like Brett, some oxidation, or volatile acidity. We would consider these in high amounts to also be a flaw, but in many cases a touch of these qualities can ultimately improve their flavor and texture and be happily accepted in a natural wine.

The short answer is, no! But many are. Glou-glou describes winesthat are easily chuggable, impossible to put the glass down, and seductively delicious! They tend to be young and fresh, designed to be drunk early with an average ABV of around 10%. Check out different styles or glou glou natural wine here on our site.
