natural

I would go for the simplest word. Autochthonous while correct just sounds odd and in many contexts means "native" which would not be correct here.

'Native', 'wild' and 'indigenous' all seem to be synonyms for this type of yeast, used interchangeably in many references.

In fact 'wild' gets the most Google hits, followed by 'native'.

Pick a synonym!

autochthonous

May be a bit recondite but if you're preaching to the converted, perhaps not.
I got a few Google hits - about 16,800 English and Spanish pages for autochthonous yeast.

ambient (yeasts)

Whilst not arguing with 'wild yeasts' or 'natural yeasts', both of which terms are used in opposition to 'cultured yeast', I refer to what Jancis Robinson says in The Oxford Companion to Wine:

"Once a winery begins to use wild yeast consistently, returning pomace and lees to vineyard soils to encourage the process, the wild yeast population tends to stabilize with a particular mixture of yeasts suitable for wine fermentation so that ambient yeast may be a more appropriate term. Such mixtures of yeast genera and species, often called 'natural yeast', have been much more commonly used in the traditional wine regions of Europe than cultured yeast."

It depends really on the depth of detail your text is going into.

HTH anyway
