Biodynamic Farming
Farmed and made according to biodynamic practices, but not certified. Often accompanied with organic farming practices.
Biodynamic farming uses no synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Biodynamic farming works to achieve soil health through the use of compost, animal and green manures; diversified crop rotations; and incorporation of livestock. However, the two agricultural systems differ in that biodynamic farmers rely on eight specific preparations for the soil, crops and compost to enhance soil and plant quality, and to stimulate the composting process. The eight preparations, designated by their ingredients or by numbers 500 to 507, are made from cow manure; silica; the flowers of yarrow, chamomile, dandelion and valerian; oak bark; and the stinging nettle plant. A ninth prep, often referred to as 508, is made from horsetail and is used for fungal disease.

Critics Ratings
'A lovely Champagne, seamlessly layering vibrant acidity and a fine, satiny texture with flavors of crushed black cherry, lime blossom and grilled nut. An aromatic thread of star anise and graphite unwinds on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2024.' -Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Dec 2019)
