Organic Vs. Biodynamic Wines
When comparing organic and biodynamic wines, it’s essential to understand the distinct methods of cultivation and production that set them apart in the winemaking industry.
Both types prioritize soil health, but biodynamic farming takes it a step further by viewing the vineyard as a holistic ecosystem. Biodynamic practices often include the use of specific preparations and composts to enhance soil vitality and promote biodiversity. This approach not only benefits the grapes but also impacts terroir expression in the final product.
Terroir expression refers to how the unique characteristics of the vineyard, including soil composition, climate, and topography, manifest in the taste and quality of the wine. Biodynamic wines, with their focus on interconnectedness and harmony with nature, often showcase a more pronounced terroir expression compared to organic wines.
