What biodynamic means Biodynamic farming builds on organic farming and takes it a step further. The farm is treated as a whole, where soil, plants and animals are connected. No synthetic fertilisers or pesticides are used, and the soil is tended with compost and preparations made from plants and minerals. Many growers also follow a calendar for when to work in the vineyard.
The method goes back to Rudolf Steiner's lectures on agriculture from 1924. Today growers are certified by, among others, Demeter and, in Austria, Respekt-BIODYN.
Why it matters to us We don't choose wine by certificate. But the growers we like tend to end up working this way, because they spend more time in the vineyard than in the cellar.
The rest of our range is farmed organically. You will find it under Organic wine.
