Certified

Being certified is the difference between talking the talk and walking the walk. There are numerous agencies who offer certify vineyards for Biodynamics and/or Organics. It is a long process and is quite strict. Some producers follow the rules religiously but don’t feel they need the tag. Others take a more pragmatic approach and want the flexibility to use chemicals if there is a serious problem. Note there is no certification for natural wine. No preservative added is a claim about food that is protected by legislation rather than a non-government body.
