Sulfite-free does exist

[Thomas]

"Expression is really opened up in wines without the muting effect of SO2."

I dispute that statement, because the majority of wines in the world contain sulfites, so you'd be saying that the majority of wines offer muted expression, which simply is not true.

"Many of our fans also like to avoid unnecessary chemicals in their food."

I assume that you are aware that sulfur dioxide is a naturally occurring phenomenon, the result of decomposing vegetation, smoke, fermentation, as in bread, cheese, and yogurt. Do you ask your fans if they require that sulfites be removed from those products? And do they know that they produce sulfites while digesting food?

Tim, it's one thing to want to produce wine without ANY intervention (which should include no acid and/or sugar additions, if you are serious about the natural process). It's quite another thing to make claims that simply don't hold up under scrutiny.
