Learn More About Certified Organic Wine

Certified organic wine starts in the vineyard, with grapes grown under organic certification standards that avoid synthetic pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers. The result is wine made with more care for soil health, biodiversity and the people who work among the vines.

What Makes Wine Organic?

Organic wine is made from organically grown grapes and produced under rules that limit or prohibit certain additives and processing aids. Certification gives shoppers extra confidence because the vineyard and winery practices are independently checked.

Organic wine is not one single taste. You can find polished Shiraz, elegant Pinot Noir, crisp Sauvignon Blanc, textural Chardonnay, vibrant rosé and celebratory sparkling wine, all made with a lower-chemical approach.

• Organic red wine — rich, savoury, silky or bright

Certified Organic Wine FAQs

What is certified organic wine?

Certified organic wine is made from grapes grown without synthetic pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilisers, and the vineyard and winery must meet organic certification standards. Certification gives you more confidence that the wine has been produced under an audited system, not just marketed with natural-sounding language.

Is certified organic wine the same as natural wine?

No. Certified organic wine refers to how the grapes are grown and how the wine is produced under organic standards. Natural wine is more of a winemaking philosophy and is not always certified, although many natural wines are made from organic or biodynamic grapes.

Does certified organic wine contain preservatives?

Some certified organic wines do contain added sulphites, but usually at lower permitted levels than conventional wine. If you want wine made without added sulphites, look for preservative free wine or no added preservative details on the individual product page.

Is certified organic wine better for you?

Certified organic wine may suit people who want to reduce exposure to synthetic vineyard chemicals and unnecessary additives. It is still wine and still contains alcohol, so it is best enjoyed mindfully, but many customers tell us they notice fewer unwanted effects when they switch to organic wine. For many wine lovers, it offers a cleaner, more considered way to enjoy a glass.

What does certified organic wine taste like?

Certified organic wine can taste crisp, fresh, rich, bold, savoury, sparkling or sweet depending on the grape variety and style. The best examples are expressive and balanced, with clear fruit character and a strong sense of where they were grown.

Is certified organic wine vegan?

Not always. Organic certification does not automatically mean a wine is vegan, because some wineries may still use animal-derived fining agents. Check the individual wine listing for vegan-friendly status.

What is the difference between organic and biodynamic wine?

Organic wine is made to certified organic standards, while biodynamic wine follows additional farming principles focused on soil health, biodiversity and vineyard cycles. Many biodynamic wines are also certified organic, but biodynamic certification is a separate credential.

How do I choose the best certified organic wine?

Start with the style you already enjoy — crisp whites, smooth reds, sparkling, rosé or richer full-bodied wines. Then check the grape variety, region, tasting notes and credentials such as vegan, biodynamic, preservative free or low sulphite.
