For organic producers, certification is an important aspect of what they do, it is a way to establish trust quickly and easily, and most importantly, honesty.
Certification assures consumers that what they are getting really is organic. When a producer says they are nearly organic and only put on a couple of roundup sprays a year, they are not organic. Nearly organic is not organic.
Organic growers aim to produce wines that are true to the earth, and to take care of the land we all share. No synthetic chemical fertilisers, pesticides, or herbicides are used. Instead, organic producers are careful co-creators with nature. We build healthy vines by building healthy soils, and by nurturing a diverse, rich community of plants, soil, insects and microorganisms.
Organic wines are made using only natural products; no synthetic chemical additives are permitted. ​To read more about organic wine making click here.

Biodynamic agriculture is based on the knowledge that the soil, plants, animals and farmers work together in one agricultural cycle.
Similar to organic farming, biodynamic farming uses no synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Biodynamic farming works to achieve soil health through the use of compost, animal and green manures; diversified crop rotations; and incorporation of livestock. However, the two agricultural systems differ in that biodynamic farmers rely on eight specific preparations for the soil, crops and compost to enhance soil and plant quality, and to stimulate the composting process.
The eight preparations, designated by their ingredients or by numbers 500 to 507, are made from cow manure; silica; the flowers of yarrow, chamomile, dandelion and valerian; oak bark; and the stinging nettle plant. A ninth prep, often referred to as 508, is made from horsetail and is used for fungal disease.
Only a certified organic producer can be considered for Biodynamic certification.
