Six Organic Wines You Must Try Today!

Win-win is the best refrain for organic wines that crackle with varietal character and fruits of a natural approach that’s good for the wine and those who savour it. So come devour the back story and drink six of our choicest organic ferments!

The food and drink metier has been overwhelmed and dominated of late by the infectious movements of vegan, free range, farm to table and hyper local. Inevitably, wine has been swept up in the same trending conversation with social media mavens gushing over organic and natural wines as some sort of recent back to nature rage. This misplaced enthusiasm does not amuse wine historians who know better about a distinct organic approach to winemaking that pre-dates the modern fad of pursuing all things natural. Organic winemaking timestamps its influence across centuries of vintages when synthetic compounds didn’t exist and pure faith in the elements along with diligent viticulture helped the vines tide over difficult years to yield suitable grapes for fermenting. The natural vinous approach took a conspicuous backseat in the early 20th century when industrialisation swept the first world. While the mechanisation of winemaking had its merits of efficiencies, the toll it took on the essence of wine itself was telling.

However, there was a heartening, parallel movement to revive organic viticulture by scientist of the likes of Albert Howard and Walter James. Their efforts focussed on outlawing the use of synthetic compounds in the vineyard, putting the focus back on creating an environment in the vineyard that nurtured the resident flora and fauna to protect the vines. These ideas were embraced and amplified in the last two decades with sensitivity and recognition of organic values at both the producer and consumer end. Ethical and credible organic certification agencies, certifying and overseeing this expanding niche have been helpful catalysts. Today, organic produce is all the rage across every edible vertical but organic winemaking thankfully stands out as a sincere and serious movement, backed by sensible time honoured practices refreshed a modern understanding of terroir and clever innovation.

Some of these interesting turns have been fashioned by winemakers of the Wine Park stable. Austrian organic and biodynamic certified estate Loimer has transformed his award winning Austrian winery into a self-sustaining establishment, a ‘closed farm organism’ as it were, producing everything the winery needs, within its own location right from using indigenous yeast to induce natural open top fermentation and putting the restless chickens to work, picking off pests at the base of vines. Dog Point from New Zealand that trot out sheep to graze between the vine rows while in Argentina, armadillos are rolled out to do the job and in Chile, domesticated geese and llamas are let free to forage at the base of the vines. The geese happily snack on their favourite beetles, keeping from snacking on vital fruit. So much for the generous fill on the phenomenon of organic wines, it’s time to fill up and charge the swollen crystal with six of Wine Park’s choicest organic pours, not that there aren’t a lot more on our diverse shelf to toast the magic of nature with. Cheers!

Di Majo Norante, Moli Bianco 2024

Our latest Italian estate from the tiny seaside region of Molise puts Falanghina in the brightest of lights with an expressive natural palate. This vibrant and refreshing Falanghina style brims with floral notes and bright flavours of citrus, limoncella apple and minerality.

Loimer, Gruner Veltliner Kamptal 2023

Fred Loimer bosses organics like few others, as mentioned earlier, and his flagship Gruner Vetliner captures his natural approach in a bottle with a sprightly floral white that coats the palate with bright tones of citrus, green apple and lime buoyed by generous acidity.

Dog Point, Sauvignon Blanc 2024

New Zealand ‘Savvy’ doesn’t come more fruit bombish and refreshing than this Marlborough turn from the masters of new world organic craft. They’ve put their collective experience and hungry geese to spectacular use, yielding a wine tasting of citrus, honeydew melon and pears on the palate, buoyed by crisp acidity and mellow finish.

Famille Fabre, Grande Courtade Pinot Noir 2024

Famille Fabre has put Languedoc’s Corbières-Boutenac appellation on the world map not just for its high quality of fruit but for a remarkable organic focus that shines through on this Southern French Pinot Noir, beaming with ripe character, barrel aged elegance, notes of black cherry and pepper on the back of soft tannins.

Tornatore, Etna Rosso 2020

Nerello Mascelese glistens in mineralesque organic glory under the watch of dextrous winemaking and an active Mount Etna volcano under the Sicilian sun, delivering an elegant palate almost as impressive as red Burgundy and still unique to its lava laden terroir, teeming with cherries, berries and smokey hints, finishing long.

Stark-Conde, Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

South Africa Cabernet is desperately sought after for so many good reasons but when you couple pure phenolic brilliance and generous fruit, rimmed around by organic charm on the finest parcels of the Western Cape, you get this estate beauty that marries bold character and tannins with black fruit and spice, revealing just why this new world powerhouse owns the Cab.
