While we often seek out organic vegetables or sustainably sourced household and personal products, deliberately searching out organic or biodynamic wine doesn’t seem to be much of a priority. Yet, there’s no reason for it not to be, because of all the reasons why we opt for the former.

Organic Vs Biodynamic

Johan Reyneke, Owner and Viticulturalist at Reyneke Wines says while organic wines are environmentally sustainable, biodynamic wines strive to go beyond that and even become self-sufficient ecosystems.

“All biodynamic wines are organic, but not all organic wines are biodynamic. Biodynamics is one of the oldest forms of organic agriculture. It comes from a time when our ancestors farmed with a spiritual understanding.”
