It follows a set of farming practices that views the vineyard (or farm) as one solid organism. The ecosystem functions as a whole, with each portion of the farm or vineyard contributing to the next, with the idea being to create a self-sustaining system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNatural materials, soils, and composts are used to sustain the vineyard. In addition to organic practices such as the exclusion of chemical or synthetic herbicides, fertilisers and pesticides, biodynamic farmers rely upon special plant, animal and mineral preparations to enhance the health of their soil and vines. Additionally, a range of animals from ducks to horses to sheep live on the soil and fertilise it, creating a rich, fertile environment for the vines to grow in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUtilising the Stella Natura Biodynamic agricultural calendar, biodynamic farmers also consider the positioning and rhythmic influences of the sun, moon, planets and stars as guides for when to prune their vines, plant new vines or pick the fruit. Biodynamic farming also seeks sustainability, or leaving the land in as good or better shape as they found it for future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winemakers the key principle of biodynamic wine production is totally logical. It makes no sense to extol the virtues on the geology of a vineyard, the unique aspects of its soil (its ‘terroir’) and what that imparts to the wine, if that soil is then totally transformed by a mixture of chemicals, herbicides and fertilisers. Healthy soil dictates healthy vines and experience has shown that biodynamic practices give rise to greater purity and precision in the resulting wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteiner’s biodynamic disciplines date back to the early 1920’s, (twenty years before the organic movement) and followed the notion that in harnessing the metaphysical, the physical is improved. In his approach to agriculture, Steiner believed that the health of the soil, plants and animals depends on reconnecting nature with the creative forces of the cosmos. The practical methods he outlined were intended to be adopted by farmers and winemakers alike with the intention to revitalise the natural forces that were rapidly becoming depleted through modern agricultural techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeginning with a healthy living soil, often enhanced by judicious quantities of biodynamic, naturally-occurring preparations, Steiner felt that it was also important to recognise the role of the rhythms of light from planets, sun, moon and stars. Understanding this aspect allows for optimal timings in viticultural activity and thus it follows that, if the winemaker is tuned into their needs, the vines and soil will respond better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteiner’s concept is not that difficult to grasp, after all, we know about lunar cycles, tidal flow and seasonality, so have already accepted certain, very obvious aspects of these life forces without question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUndertaking a biodynamic approach is far from an easy option and the problem for many winemakers is that in order to produce wine biodynamically, the adoption of its principles has to be wholesale, with no holds barred. Following the rhythms of earth and space is taxing and even very diligent organic farmers are wary of the extreme measures required to conform fully to the disciplines which are considered by many to be too expensive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThankfully, more and more winemakers are experimenting in biodynamic principles and gradually adopting what, ultimately, is a life changing way of working. Whilst the initial aim may have been the long term sustainability of the land and the health of themselves and their co-workers, the results of their endeavours has witnessed an intense and more honest expression of terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBiodynamic accreditation and certification is through DEMETER or BIODYVIN. Within our collection there are wine producers who are certified biodynamic alongside wine producers who have espoused biodynamic farming methods but do not seek certification, because they see biodynamics as a philosophy rather than a strict set of rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-source-gabriel-rose-cotes-de-provence","title":"La Source Gabriel Rosé 2025","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"c1\"\u003eLa Source Gabriel Rosé is a joint collaboration between Château la Tour de l'Évêque (Régine Sumeire) and Domaine Font-Freye (Régine's nephew, Roger Blanc Sumeire).

As with the entire Querciabella range, elegance and finesse trump muscle in Turpino - whose inviting floral nose and youthful ruby colour lead the way to delicate purity of fruit, roundness and depth, accompanied by fine and silky tannins. Approximately 50% of the grapes originate from Querciabella’s Maremma vineyards (biodynamic since inception); the remainder is grown in Greve (organic since 1988; biodynamic since 2000) where micro-vinification of all grape production takes place. After gentle de-stemming, the grapes are transferred into three and five-ton oak fermenters, where they undergo a brief period of cold maceration in preparation for a slow and natural fermentation process – which is prompted by the presence of ambient (indigenous) yeast under carefully monitored, temperature-controlled conditions. The completion of primary fermentation leads to a phase of post-fermentation maceration, during which daily tastings serve to track tannin development and stability. The wine is then separated from the skins by draining the tank by means of gravity flow. Only the resulting ‘free run’ is used when the wine is racked into barrels (French 20% new oak; tight grain for Cabernet Franc; tight-to-medium grain for Syrah and Merlot). Full malolactic fermentation occurs in the barriques followed by 16 months of élevage. Finally, the blend is made and moved into cement tanks for an integration period of 6 to 8 months before bottling. No animal products or byproducts are used in the production of this wine, making it suitable for vegans and vegetarians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Querciabella","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31076621353027,"sku":"A17QUERCIABELLATURPINO-1","price":39.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0106\/1539\/0266\/products\/Turpino17Bottle.jpg?v=1637328331"},{"product_id":"chateau-maris-brama","title":"Château Maris Brama 2019","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Brama countryside rises in altitude above Félines Minervois, a vineyard that offers a spectacular view of the plains, the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea in the distance.
