The most intricate, and least understood, of all of our sub-classes... by a long shot. We are totally fascinated with this wine creating and grape-expanding approach, if a single can even consider it a "method" at all. The biodynamic practice of farming grapes and crafting wine is primarily based on the ideology of Rudolf Steiner and introduced to the public forum by Nicolas Joly. They both imagine that farming can be attuned to the spiritual forces of the cosmos. This may possibly suggest linking sowing and harvesting to the phases of the moon or the positions of the planets. It also might imply burying manure in a cow's horn or making use of a "tea" of seaweed and drinking water as sunscreen for the vines. Biodynamic wine-makers are as palms-off as possible and give nature hold over the reigns. The results are wild, unpredictable, and pure. This is what many imagine to be the truest expression of wine period, and the evidence for this is that much more and more large-finish producers the world over have become converts. There is a particular magic to the resultant wine that is hard describe. We undoubtedly believe these wines, while using ancient methodologies, offer some of the most sudden and satisfying flavors of any wines being made right now. My websites: Biodynamic Wine |
