The GreenWave Podcast by Synergy International Episode 66: Pure Thirst - Field Notes from the Natural Wine Frontier

SYNI, your hostess who loves above replacement-value content like spring flowers, brings you Episode 66 “Pure Thirst: Field Notes from the Natural Wine Frontier.” We’re keeping it to the lighter, brighter side of sustainable lifestyles, this nice little detour before next week jumping back to the tougher issues in today's world. Last week at the Unicorn Factory space on the banks of the Tejo River in Lisbon, something quietly significant happened. Around fifty winemakers from eight countries gathered under a banner that translates in Portuguese, simply, as pure thirst — Pura Sede. The premise of the fair was unambiguous: natural wine made with nothing added and nothing taken away. Grape, fermentation, the minimum of intervention, and the maximum of honesty. And what you got, if you were there and paying attention, was not just a wine fair. You got a portrait of a movement that has crossed the line from counterculture into commercial force, growing at 20% a year. We were lucky enough to be there. And this episode is a field report from the inside. Saúde!
