Biodynamic wine WHAT IS...

Simply put, biodynamic wine is supercharged organic wine. As per organics, the growth of the vines is promoted thanks to compost and the natural materials that are all created within the vineyard. There are no chemicals used and animals and bugs live on the land to help with fertilisation. Where biodynamics goes to the next level is their commitment to promoting diversity, and their consideration of cosmic and spiritual biology. Biodynamic producers take the time to do vineyard work when the seasons and planetary movements suggest they will be most effective. A technique called Prep 500 is used on many biodynamic vineyards, where quality cow manure is pressed into a cow horn and buried for the duration of winter. When dug up, Prep 500 should be dark in colour and moist. Essentially, this manure has become a concentrated mass of bacteria and fungus, and is great for the soil and roots of the vines.
