Is Bonterra wine really organic?

Answered by Louis Krause

Bonterra is truly organic. We take immense pride in our commitment to organic farming practices and have been doing so for over 30 years. Every bottle of our wine is made with 100% organic grapes, which means that no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are used in our vineyards.

Why do we choose to farm organically? It goes beyond just being a marketing buzzword for us. We firmly believe that organic grapes produce the purest expressions of the varietals and the land on which they are farmed. By avoiding the use of synthetic chemicals, we allow the natural biodiversity of the vineyard to thrive and create a balanced ecosystem.

Our organic farming practices go hand in hand with our commitment to sustainability. We strive to minimize our impact on the environment by using renewable energy sources, conserving , and reducing waste. We believe in leaving the land in better condition for future generations.

To ensure the integrity of our organic practices, we are certified by the California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), one of the most respected organic certification organizations in the world. This certification requires rigorous inspections and adherence to strict standards throughout the entire winemaking process, from vineyard to bottle.

When it comes to winemaking, we also follow organic principles. We use minimal intervention techniques to allow the grapes to fully express their natural flavors and characteristics. This means using native yeasts for fermentation and avoiding the use of additives or excessive manipulation in the cellar.

Our commitment to organic farming and winemaking extends to our entire portfolio of wines. Whether you prefer a crisp Chardonnay, a bold Cabernet Sauvignon, or a refreshing , you can trust that every bottle of Bonterra wine is made with the same dedication to organic principles.

Bonterra wine is indeed organic. Our long-standing commitment to organic farming practices, certification from the CCOF, and dedication to sustainability all contribute to our belief that organic grapes produce the purest expressions of the varietals and land. So go ahead and enjoy a glass of Bonterra wine, knowing that you are supporting a brand that values the environment and produces wines of exceptional quality.
