Biodynamic wine is produced using a holistic approach to viticulture that goes beyond organic farming, rooted in the principles of biodynamic agriculture as developed by philosopher Rudolf Steiner in the early 20th century. This method treats the vineyard as a self-sustaining ecosystem, emphasizing the health of the soil, plants, and surrounding environment. Biodynamic practices include the use of natural composts and herbal preparations, following lunar and cosmic cycles for planting and harvesting, and fostering biodiversity in and around the vineyard. The goal is to create a balanced and harmonious environment that leads to healthier vines and, ultimately, more expressive and terroir-driven wines. Biodynamic wines are often praised for their vibrant flavours and unique character, reflecting the philosophy that when the vineyard is in balance, the wine produced from it will be a true representation of its place of origin.
