Organic Wine

Organic wine means grapes grown under EU organic rules — no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilisers and requirements for soil health and biodiversity in the vineyard. Certification (e.g. the EU organic logo) covers farming; in the cellar producers may still work in different ways, from classic winemaking to minimal intervention.

The difference from biodynamic wine is clear: organic defines what cannot be used in the vineyard; biodynamic adds a holistic view with compost preparations, dynamic sprays and the vineyard's rhythms. The difference from natural wine matters too — natural wine sets rules in both vineyard and cellar (wild fermentation, no additives), while organic wine primarily concerns how grapes are grown. Many of our producers do both, but they are not the same thing.

Buying organic wine in Sweden through the monopoly or traditional importers often means limited choice and high prices. You buy bottles online, and when the pallet closes the wine ships to your door.
