Organic Wine
Organic wine is made from grapes grown without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or fungicides, according to the principles of organic farming. Organic winemakers focus on soil health and biodiversity, using natural fertilizers, compost and cover crops in the vineyards. Organic wines require certification by bodies such as the USDA that ensure that 100% organic grapes and limited additives (such as sulfites) are used. In the US, an “Organic” wine must have no added sulfites, while the EU allows added sulfites in limited quantities.
