The biodynamic farming is a continuation of the organic farming, but its specifications are more restrictive than those of the organic farming. To be certified in biodynamic cultivation, the vineyard must be first certified "Organic Farming". It musts then meet the requirements of the biodynamic specifications with the spraying of various herbal preparations to fight against pests and promote the good vines development, and in the respect of the lunar and astral cycles defined in a schedule established at this effect.
In winemaking, the biodynamic vinification prohibits the majority of the oenological inputs tolerated in organic farming, and the permitted sulphite levels are even lower than those set in the organic specifications. Several labels certify the biodynamic viticulture, of which the best known are DEMETER and BIODYVIN.

Floral Elegant Thirst-quenching
Very fresh nose, with notes of apricots, mirabelle plums, rose and orange flowers. The palate is elegant and delicately scented, its long finish stretches on a hint of liquorice. A refined and very refreshing orange wine, a success !
(Tasting date : May 2020)
The juice is clear, of a beautiful orange color. There is a slight reduction present on the nose which disappears after a few minutes of aeration in the glass, to give way to elegant notes of kiwi, mirabelle plum, quetsche and a hint of lily of the valley. On the palate, the juice is supple and delicious with a slightly peaty finish evoking whiskey.
A wine of finesse and delicacy, a nice surprise !
