What is organic wine?
Organic winemakers don't use chemical fertilizers. Therefore, the grapevine is forced to develop a more extensive root system in search of nutrients. As a rule of thumb, the bigger the root system, the more flavorful the grape.
Certified Organic: The wine adheres to national standards, certified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA.
Organically Grown: The grapes were grown organically.
Biodynamic: A nature-attuned agricultural method that predates the organic movement by several decades. Increasingly popular for growing grapes.
Sustainable Agriculture: Another way of saying that nothing is wasted in the process. Byproducts are used as compost. |
