Global trends in organic and biodynamic viticulture

Overview

The wine industry is experiencing a growing emphasis on sustainable viticulture, specifically through organic and biodynamic farming practices.

In France, estates such as Domaine de la Marinière in the Chinon AOC and Domaine Pithon Paillé in the Anjou region have transitioned to or maintained organic and Demeter-certified biodynamic methods to reflect local terroir. The distinction between organic and biodynamic farming remains a point of interest, with organic practices prohibiting synthetic chemicals and GMOs, while biodynamic producers may still utilize substances like sulfur or copper sulfate.

This trend extends to New Zealand, where wineries like Te Whare Ra in Marlborough utilize nutrient-rich compost to maintain soil health and support diverse grape varieties.
