Biodynamic Wine
The holistic and spiritual approach of biodynamic wine growing and making surpasses the principles of organic farming. Based on Rudolf Steiner's teachings, biodynamics considers the vineyard as a self-contained ecosystem that connects with the cosmos' rhythms. This method involves a unique set of practices that harmonise the spiritual, physical, and energetic aspects of the vineyard to produce wines that reflect their terroir profoundly.
The use of a planting calendar that aligns vineyard activities with lunar and celestial cycles is central to biodynamic winegrowing. This calendar dictates when to plant, prune, and harvest, aiming to optimise the natural energy flows within the vineyard. Additionally, biodynamic preparations, such as compost preparations and herbal treatments, are applied to enhance soil fertility and stimulate the vine's life forces.
Biodynamic winemaking takes a minimal intervention approach, similar to the growing process. Grapes are harvested according to the lunar calendar, and wild yeast fermentation is encouraged to showcase the unique character of the vineyard. The winemaker guides, rather than manipulates, the wine, allowing it to evolve naturally.
While biodynamic practices may seem mystical to some, they demonstrate a deep commitment to sustainability.
