Why drink organic wine?
Environment
No harmful pesticides or synthetic chemicals are used to make organic wine. This is better for our soils, waterways, biodiversity and vineyard workers too!
Health
Organic wine is made to cleaner standards. This means you can worry less about pesticide residues, additives and often less sulphites. It is produced in a way that reduces the potential for allergic reactions, by restricting the use of sulphur dioxide.
Taste
Organic grapes have balanced sugars, acids and tannins. This is why organic wines have excellent, authentic flavours and aromas.
People
Choosing organic wine supports the organic movement and creates healthier jobs for winemakers, farmers and people who conserve the countryside.

Certified organic wine is made using a verifiable process with inspections. So just look for the Soil Association certified organic logo, and you’ll know you can put your trust into it.
