Organic wine is made from grapes grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilisers. Instead, organic vineyards focus on natural methods, like composting, cover crops, and promoting biodiversity to keep the soil healthy and the vines strong. The goal is to create a sustainable environment that not only nurtures the grapes but also protects the surrounding ecosystem.
In the winery, organic winemaking also means limiting or completely avoiding certain additives commonly used in conventional winemaking. However, organic wine can still contain a small amount of sulphites, which are used to preserve the wine. That said, the amount of sulphites in organic wines is typically lower than in non-organic ones, especially in regions where strict regulations are in place.
For many wine lovers, organic wine offers a cleaner, more environmentally friendly option without sacrificing taste. It’s a way to enjoy wine while supporting agricultural practices that care for the planet.
