Organic Wines
We have many more biodynamic wines or organic wines listed on our Sulphite Free page as these go beyond the requirements for organic, with no added chemicals or manipulation whatsoever. So please visit that page too as we are not duplicating them on this page.
Below we are listing some good "EU organically certified" wines. There is now a great deal of confusion created by the new EU Certification "Organic Wine" which replaces the former "wine made from organically grown grapes". The new regulations are very lax and permit the addition of around 40 different chemicals plus several dubious production methods such as the addition of tartaric acid, and reverse osmosis intensive filtering.
This means it is now virtually impossible to distinguish from looking at the label, genuine quality EU Organic wines from mass produced, manipulated wines with excessive additives which still qualify to be labelled as EU Organic. The vast majority of genuine organic producers are furious about these new regulations as the "EU Certified Organic" status is now virtually worthless. They have to pay to be organically certified and relied on the system to distinguish their genuine organic wines from the mass produced "organic" wines peddled by the big producers and retailers.
We only sell genuine organic wines, made naturally with extremely low sulphite content, and absolute minimal permitted additives, so you can safely choose any of these knowing they are healthy and natural.
Both Domaine Mayrac and Cantina La Selva are small wineries run by families who live a genuine organic life. La Selva is actually a producer of a whole range of organic foods as well as their wine. Visits can be arranged for customers where you can stay on site in one of the guest houses.
Once again I will point out we have many more genuine natural wines on our sulphite free page so please do make a point of checking it out after you've finished here.

Le Quai à Raisins MeridionalA new wine from a new venture! Robin Althof from Costes Cirgues and his wife Imogen are making small batches of their own excellent wines from different parcels of grapes from friends' vineyards. Obviously they are organically farmed.
Pale gold with green highlights. Some light legs. Initial citrus flavours with a good mouthfeel. Soft, round and balanced with a clean, crisp finish. It's very difficult to get crisp acidity in a sulphite free white so Robin has added a tiny amount of sulphites at bottling. This is perhaps the closest in style to mainstream whites I've tasted.
This wine contains a total of 19 mg/l total sulphites - technically too high to be classed as "sulphite free" for which the limit is no more than 10 mg/l. But this is extremely low and the wine is still suitable for people with a sulphite allergy. Hence we have put it on our sulphite free wines page (as well as our organic page) so our regular customers who buy Robin's other wines and wines from his family's brand Costes Cirgues, are aware of it's existence.
We have an extremely limited stock.

Domaine Mayrac Organic Cremant de LimouxDomaine Mayrac Cremant de Limoux is a superb organic sparkling wine, more in the style of Champagne being rich and biscuity, rather than the fruitier, greener Prosecco style - if you want that style opt for their Blanquette instead.

Domaine Mayrac Organic Savoir Etre BlancThis wine has been renamed and used to be their Milesime Blanc.
A delicious blend of Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc (and Mauzac) aged in oak. Light in colour with a fresh nose. Citrus fruits on the palate, yet full and creamy in the mouth. Plenty of body but very clean and fresh on the finish.
More stock en route due toward the end of August (due to the summer shut down in France).
