Natural Trailblazers: 13 Ways to Climate-Free Wine – Camilla Gjerde

In Natural Trailblazers: 13 Ways to Climate-Free Wine, Camilla Gjerde introduces readers to thirteen visionaries in the world of natural wine who are pioneering sustainable, low-carbon winemaking. From growers who have abandoned tractors to protect their soil, to urban winemakers who sell locally and transport bottles by bike, and even importers who ship wine solely by wind-powered vessels, this book showcases the innovative ways the industry is reducing its environmental footprint.

Following her acclaimed book We Don’t Want Any Crap in Our Wine, Gjerde teams up again with photographer Cecilia Magnusson to take readers on a journey through vineyards, cellars, and transport routes, sharing inspiring stories of resilience and sustainability in the wine world.

A natural wine enthusiast with a background in political science, Gjerde brings her passion for independent, boundary-pushing winemakers to life, making this book essential reading for anyone interested in the future of sustainable wine.
