RAW 2014

RAW the artisan wine fair - this weekend, 18-19 May, Old Truman Brewery, London

Join us this weekend and open your eyes to a new world of wine. Come taste together

RAW the artisan wine fair returns this Sunday and Monday to celebrate the world of unprocessed, authentic wine production.

Committed to empowering all wine drinkers through real, informed choice, you’ll only find honest frank talking at RAW. Transparency is key and organiser Isabelle Legeron MW has ensured this ethos transfers to every element of the show, from wine to beer to tea to food, making it the perfect place to discover a community of people all working towards the same purpose.

Highlights of the show include:

    1000 different natural, biodynamic and organic wines by more than 150 growers from 18 different countries, some not available anywhere else in the UK. You can even sample two exclusive wines by Bordelais grower Chateau le Puy, who sent two barrels by sail, to measure the impact of traditional forms of transport on wine’s maturity. The bottles that accompanied them have recently returned to Europe’s shores after pit stops in Brazil and the Caribbean.

   Limited number of exclusive copies of Isabelle Legeron’s forthcoming book, Natural Wine: An introduction to organic and biodynamic wines made naturally available to purchase (not available in the shops until July).

    Food from some of London’s most exciting restaurants including Peckham Bazaar, Elliot’s Café and Antidote as well as artisan food producers.

   

 The RAW Wine Shop run by Wapping wine bar Victualler where you’ll be able to purchase some of your favourite bottles.

   

 Artisan gin, sake, tea and coffee, including cupping sessions with east London coffee roasters Square Mile

    The RAW Beer Corner featuring London’s top micro-breweries
