Notes of Mandarin Orange, Key Lime and Tangerine.
Medium weight, bright acidity with lingering flavors of Lime, Peach and Minerals.
Great with grilled fish, cheeses, grilled vegetables and cured meats.
Profound purple color with a bouquet that swirls with heady aromas of black cherries and chocolate, medium- to full-bodied wine with fine tannins and a lingering, complex finish.
Complements grilled meats, rosemary, garlic and fennel dishes.
What is Biodynamic farming?
A self-sustaining system entirely responsible for creating and maintaining its individual health and vitality without any external and unnatural additions. By recycling back into the earth everything that has come from it, How did Biodynamic farming begin?
In 1924 a group of European farmers approached Dr. Rudolf Steiner (noted scientist, philosopher, and founder of the Waldorf School) after noticing a rapid decline in seed fertility, crop vitality and animal health. In response, Steiner held a series of lectures that presented the farm as a living organism: self-contained and self-sustaining, responsible for creating and maintaining its individual health and vitality. This was in sharp contrast to the view of the farm as factory, able to boast production by importing chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, which was largely responsible for the observations of depleted vitality noted by the farmers who sought Steiner's guidance. Steiner was one of the first public figures to question the long-term benefits of this manufacturing view of agriculture, to warn of its environmentally destructive practices, and to propose an alternative to chemical agriculture.
