2 - I agree with your point 2. 'Natural winemaking' is too often heralding wines I do not like, cloudy, odd colours and all. And I tried, I really tried. Bought a mixed case of 'orange' wine made here and found them without exception to be mundane , none rising to a level that I would waste cellar space on them.

Well, you did use the terms "earthy" and "loamy" in your tasting notes. Maybe the terroir is literally shining through?
