Collection: Organic Wine

Organic wine starts in the vineyard. Certified organic growers farm without synthetic herbicides, pesticides or fertilisers, instead working with healthier soils, cover crops and biodiversity to produce better grapes. Organic certification also sets rules for winemaking, although exactly what is permitted varies between countries. What matters most to us is that organic farming encourages healthier vineyards that can better express where the wine comes from.

While organic certification is important, it's only part of the story. We choose wines because they're delicious first and foremost, not simply because they carry a logo on the label. Many of the growers we work with have farmed organically for decades, believing that healthier soils and thriving vineyards naturally lead to more balanced, expressive wines. Others are in the process of converting, or work organically without seeking formal certification. For us, the producer always matters as much as the paperwork.

Organic wines come in every style imaginable. You'll find crisp whites, elegant reds, sparkling wines, orange wines and everything in between from regions across France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Germany and beyond. Farming organically doesn't dictate how a wine should taste. Instead, it gives growers the opportunity to produce wines that reflect their vineyards with as little unnecessary intervention as possible, while still making thoughtful decisions in the winery.

There's often some confusion between organic, biodynamic and natural wine. Organic refers to certified farming methods, while biodynamic follows a stricter holistic approach to viticulture, and natural wine generally focuses on minimal intervention in the cellar as well as the vineyard. There's plenty of overlap between the three, but they aren't interchangeable. Many of our favourite producers sit somewhere within that spectrum, united by careful farming and a desire to let their vineyards speak for themselves.
