For the sake of this wine list, our natural wines are wines that are grown or produced by winemakers implementing organic & biodynamic practices, mostly unfined & unfiltered, and the least amount of sulfur added at the end of bottling, or no sulfur added at all. These wines are complex and interesting much like our food and greatly complement our menu. These wines are alive, have character and evolve very quickly over time in the glass. They are meant to be enjoyed with food, with us here at Alter.

A proponent of lesser-known varietals in atypical locations, his wines are an honest and natural representation of site and vine. Barbera from California? Wines made from Alvarelho grapes? If you didn't know this, it's okay. We didn't either until these wines came along our path.
