It is my experience that the world of organic wines continues to improve. A few years ago there weren’t many trend setters that would boldly state they were going for it, all organic. This has changed however and more and more winemaker and wineries believe the benefits of a fully organic winery and its benefits.
For one, a more naturally controlled and kept winery a cleaner wine that can be made. While this may be a general statement what I mean is that there are fewer intruders on the quality of the grapes. Talk to any wine maker and they will equally tell you that it all starts in the vineyard. Good healthy grapes make for good healthy wine.
Second, the cost factors for a non organic winery outweigh those of the organic winery. For example, there is less to buy, less labor to staff and less cleaning after picking. This makes sound business sense and it is also environmentally friendlier.
Finally, the flavors of the organic winery have increased in quality as winemaker learns to interact with their land and fruit in a more natural way. All across the globe there is a united front on making focused and committed organically grown grapes making more cost effective, environmentally friendlier and healthier wines.
