Biodynamic wines

Biodynamic wine comes from vineyards farmed according to the holistic philosophy developed by Rudolf Steiner — treating the entire farm as a self-sustaining living organism, working in harmony with lunar and cosmic rhythms, and using a specific set of herbal and mineral preparations to build soil health and vine vitality. Biodynamics goes significantly further than organic farming: it prohibits all synthetic chemicals, encourages biodiversity through cover crops and mixed farming, and applies preparations like horn manure (500) and horn silica (501) at specific times of year. Some of the world's greatest wine estates farm biodynamically: Domaine Leroy and Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Burgundy, Nicolas Joly in the Loire, Zind-Humbrecht in Alsace. At Wines Direct we stock an expanding range of biodynamically farmed wines across every price point.
