Producer membership
A community pathway for qualifying producers. Membership is free and does not itself indicate that a wine is certified.
Clear distinctions build trust.
Community membership, an assessment, and a third-party certification are not the same thing. We keep those terms separate so each one can mean what it says.
Natural Wine Score
A published framework organized around five weighted categories. A reflection on these topics is not an official score.
Third-party certification
A distinct claim that should only be made where a formal certification process and its requirements have been confirmed.
Ask before you claim.
This website does not confer a certification simply because a producer submits an application, joins the community, or reflects on the score categories. No fee, threshold, audit timeline, or certification mark is represented here as official.
If you are a producer seeking guidance on the current certification pathway, contact the Authority directly. We will not treat a membership inquiry as a certification application.
