Organic wine producers
For organic producers, certification is an important aspect of what they do, it is a way to establish trust quickly and easily, and most importantly, honesty.
Certification assures consumers that what they are getting really is organic. When a producer says they are nearly organic and only put on a couple of roundup sprays a year, they are not organic. Nearly organic is not organic.
Organic growers aim to produce wines that are true to the earth, and to take care of the land we all share. No synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or herbicides are used. Instead, organic producers are careful co-creators with nature. We build healthy vines by building healthy soils, and by nurturing a diverse, rich community of plants, soil, insects and microorganisms.
Organic wines are made using only natural products; no synthetic chemical additives are permitted.
