What is Biodynamic wine?
Well...biodynamics goes one step further than organics by looking at the vineyard within the context of the larger environment. Lunar cycles, earth rhythms and astrology are employed to ensure that activities in the vineyard are correctly timed. Homeopathic sprays and herbal preparations are used along with estate-made composts to increase soil fertility and strengthen and protect the vines from pests and disease. In short, by employing biodynamic principles the grower is aiming to harmonise the rhythm of the vine with its capacity to bear fruit. Increasingly, internationally-renowned estates are using this approach to make better wine with great success.
