FEATURE - NATTY WINE AND OYSTERS “It comes down to how you ethically and morally want to run your business. Are you prepared to take the hit to perhaps make slightly less money on a glass of wine that you know is well and responsibly made?” While natural wine comes at a greater cost and certainly adds to the difficulty of running a wine programme, for Martin Waugh and Matt Francombe, respective restaurant managers and sommeliers at Restaurant Hjem and French bistro Ophelia, both of whom have been recognised by the Star Wine List, it is also “the honourable choice” so they “make it work”. And despite its detractors and the naysayers who dismiss natty wine as a mere flash in the pan, the growing popularity of the natural wine movement is reflected in the number of fine dining establishments and bottle shops throughout the region that are serving and stocking natural or organic wines. As we found out from Martin and Matt, far from being a fad, this ancient farming technique that dates back to the Romans is here to stay, certainly at Hjem and Ophelia, who pride themselves on sourcing locally, reducing air miles and minimising their carbon footprint.
