there are some natural finings (things used to clear) gelatin is often used as part of 2 part finings also Isinglass.

If you want to go 100% natural, the best way I can think is to use a 5micron home water filter.

or you could crash cool to clear, which means rapidly dropping the temperature of your beer / wine etc. only thing to watch with this one is to make sure your airlock doesnt drop it's liquid back into your brew. If you have a brew at room temperature and you crash cool it, the warm air inside of the fermenter will turn cold and contract then will suck to contents of your airlock and dump it into your brew.

Use one of pic related. it's a home water filter, they are relatively cheap, it takes different sized filters, so you can filter at different microns depending on your desired result, the smaller you go the more colour you can lose, especially with red wines.

You want to make sure your wine or beer is as clear as you can get it before you run it through one of these filters, this is the final stage if you like, you should use fining and/or crash cooling to drop as much sediment as possible otherwise the filters are so small they will clog super quick. you can back flush the filters to clean them or take them out completely and wash them under the faucet which should give you multiple uses.

you may also need a pump of some sort to pull the wine through the filter, there are some youtube videos with different methods, some using vacuum pumps, siphoning and using gravity isn't going to be strong enough I don't believe.
