Some people say that “Highway To Hell” was the name by which Canning Highway in Australia was known, which started where Bon Scott lived and finished at a bar called The Raffles, which was a famous rock’n’roll place in the 70s. As the road gets near the bar it starts to go noticeably downhill. So many people died at the crossroads that was at the top of the hill that it was called “Highway to Hell”. But that didn’t stop Bon Scott and his mates religiously taking the road every night to drink and listen to rock music. After six records, “Highway To Hell” was the first song to make the hitlist in the USA, being Bon Scott’s last song as lead singer as he died in 1980.

But what really is organic wine? The most basic definition of organic wine is wine made from organically farmed grapes. Generally excluding the use of artificial chemical fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and herbicides. While wine naturally produces some sulphites, they cannot be added!
This lack of manipulation in both the field and cellar leads to a wine that is arguably more real, and definitely more natural. Organic wine is most often the best expression of both the grape and also the terroir, the land and environment in which it is grown.
In general, organic wine grapes are much healthier and therefore produce heartier skins and higher concentrations of all of those good for you anthocyanins and antioxidants, including polyphenols and cardio-friendly resveratrol. Certified organic wines also have less sugar on average and don’t contain potentially harmful cellar additives such as flavouring agents or caramel colouring. These additives plus higher sugar levels are what typically lead to headaches. So going organic may help prevent that future headache.
But what really means so much to us is that there are real, tangible and lasting benefits to the environment and the farmers as a result of transitioning to organic farming practices. Specifically, organic vines tend to need less water applied, because soils are built up with compost and contain more organic matter, which holds water far better. Organic vines have been proven more resilient against increasing droughts and temperature spikes.
By curtailing harmful and unnecessary irrigation practices organic wineries are protecting local ecosystems and preserving their surrounding flora and fauna. By using less water and not tainting the existing water supply with chemicals the vineyard workers are doing their part to leave the earth as healthy, if not healthier, than they found it.
Organic certifications have guidelines in place to ensure ethical treatment of employees from those picking the grapes to those stomping on the grapes. By drinking organic wines, you’re supporting independent families and their staff.
Italy, Spain and France represent over 70% of all organic vineyards in the world.
