The winemaker's story:
Daniel did a CAP Tôlier and started working in wine late in life. He settled in 2011 to operate his estate in Saint-Sauveur-en-rue, and in a few years became a cult winemaker thanks to the excellence of his vintages. He makes a lot of micro-vintages, hence their rarity, and also does trading. His terroir is linked to the Northern Rhône Valley, the soils are predominantly granite, migmatite (granitized gneiss) and sand. He works without chemicals.

Label & Natural Wines

Some labels can help us identify a natural wine. The AB label, for example, certifies organic farming. The Demeter label, for its part, guarantees biodynamics. There is also the 'Vin Méthode Nature' label, as well as 'Nature et Progrès', 'Les Vins SAINS', and many others.

Some estates choose to adhere to a single label, or even not to be labeled at all, even though their cultivation and winemaking method would allow it. In other words, there is no strict rule. It all depends on the winemaker's vision, his desires, and his convictions.

For us, it is important to meet all the people we work with in order to understand their working method and select the products that match our ideology.

Natural wine

At Terra Vinea, we are deeply passionate about natural wine. We love the emotions it arouses, the surprises a bottle can give us, the memories wine gives us. We also find it important to consume a product grown and vinified with respect for the fauna and flora, preserving all the life around and in it. These convictions are part of us, and we are proud to represent these women and men who put their heart and soul into offering us these living wines.
