Overview

In the second interview with Doug we find out the Loire is the home of natural wine growers (about 40% of 250-300 growers who fall under this natural wine umbrella). While the domestic French market is the biggest, there’s a growing interest from Japanese consumers and, the USA and Australia are importing natural wines and even making some. There are also a number of natural wine bars popping up in Sydney and London – head to Terroir in Charing Cross, a bar owned by Les Caves de Pyrene.
