What you need to know about Organic Wine
Sulfites, also known Sulfur Dioxide (SO2), are a naturally occurring by-product of fermentation, and are also added to prevent the growth of unwanted bacteria and to preserve the quality and shelf-life of the bottled product. This makes the wine stable so the taste will not change during transportation or storage, and also allows the wine to age. Conventional wines may contain sulfite levels up to 350 parts per million (ppm) while wines made from certified organic grapes are required to contain less than 100 ppm. This translates to 100 mg per Liter, or less than 20 mg per glass. Our wines contain an average of about 60 ppm or about 11 mg per glass.
99.99% Organic
Because wines made with organic grapes cannot exceed 100 ppm of sulfites, the wine is at least 99.99% organic grapes and .01% (or less) sulfites. This greatly exceeds the 95% requirement to use the USDA organic seal. Wine with added sulfites must be labeled as "made with organic grapes" and cannot use the USDA organic seal.
No. Wine grapes are an agricultural product. Conventional wine grapes are chemically treated like any other agricultural product to deal with pests, viruses, weeds, fungi, and to increase yield. Wine growers are romanticized as purists, but most are dependent on chemicals. Because there are chemicals on the grapes, they end up in your bottle.
Vegan
Wine labels are not required to declare the use of animal by-products in the winemaking process. Animal by-products often used in clarifying or filtering wine include Isinglass (derived from fish), gelatin (derived from animal hooves) casein (a milk protein) and egg whites. Vegan wines are not produced with an animal product and are clarified with bentonite clay.
