BIODYNAMIC WINE

Biodynamic growers follow the same standard practices as organic growers, but with a deepened focus on understanding and managing the vineyard as a holistic, living organism. The methods used to produce biodynamic wine are chiefly concerned with the growing phase, using special plant, animal and mineral preparations — often called “preps” — applied to the soil and vines in small, precise quantities. The rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets and stars are also recognised and worked with where possible, guiding everything from planting to harvest.

A philosophy nearly a century in the making

Although established in 1924 by Rudolph Steiner, this farming philosophy has evolved with our deepening knowledge of what makes a healthy planet. It’s no surprise it has seen exponential worldwide adoption as the sustainability of conventional methods is increasingly questioned. Many of the world’s most celebrated wine regions, from Burgundy to Central Otago, now count biodynamically farmed vineyards among their finest producers — often certified by Demeter International, the leading global certification body for biodynamic agriculture.

It’s not an easy path choosing to be an organic producer, and even harder being a biodynamic one. In our experience, the people who set out on this journey are conscious, committed, and deeply passionate — energy that ultimately flows into the soul of the wines they release.

What to expect in the glass

Many drinkers notice a real difference: greater purity of fruit, a stronger sense of place, and a more textured, alive quality compared to conventionally farmed equivalents. If you’re new to the category, biodynamic wines pair beautifully with simple, ingredient-driven food that lets their character shine — much like the approach we take with our organic wine range.
