At Organic Vintners, we believe what's best for the environment also makes the best wine. That's why we're committed to importing a variety of wines produced using healthy and natural practices. All of the wines from Organic Vintners are made with 100% certified organic grapes. Our certifying agencies assure that organic procedures are followed at every stage of production, from vineyard to processing to bottling.

Up to 240 different chemicals have been found in the making of conventional wines. Conversely, organic wines are made with grapes grown without chemical fertilizers, herbicides or insecticides that can hurt soil, plants and wildlife-and ultimately show up in the wine. Instead, biologically active soil is maintained in vineyards through alternatives such as cultivating the soil and planting cover crops, using natural fertilizers, promoting a biodiversity of plants and encouraging natural predators of insect pests. Also, processing (such as filtration and clarifying) is kept to a minimum, with no use of chemical additives. Organic Vintners' imported wines are produced using minimal sulfites. This ensures great taste and freshness, and prevents oxidation, as winemakers have known for thousands of years.

Biodynamic & Vegan Wines

Biodynamic principles take the organic approach a step further by making sure that the growth of the grapes is in tune with the larger environment. Using homeopathic sprays, herbal preparations and lunar cycles, soil fertility is increased and vines are protected from pests and diseases.
Vegan wines. Winemakers, both organic and conventional, are not obliged to declare on the label when they use animal by-products as fining agents to clarify wine. These include egg white (to brighten red wines), casein (a milk protein to make wine taste softer), gelatin (removes bitterness) and isinglass (derived from fish). A vegan wine, on the other hand, uses no animal products whatsoever.
