Wine & spirits: Top organic wines

By

Wine has never tasted so good!

Botter, Italy
thecaseforwine.com
Anna (Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay), Alex (Sangiovese) and Luca (Nero d'Avola) are well-made Italian wines ($13 each/1 L) typical of their regions of origin.

Didier Cabanes, France
thecaseforwine.com
This small artisanal winemaker has a certified organic brand simply called Didier, for its red, rosé and white wines ($14 each). Profits are shared with environmental organizations.

Frogpond Farm, Ontario
frogpondfarm.ca
Ontario's only all-organic winery produces three wines -- Riesling and rosé ($12 each/500 mL) and Cabernet-Merlot ($16/500 mL).

Malivoire Wine Company, Ontario
malivoire.ca
Consistent high-quality wines from this estate on the Beamsville Bench, which has one certified organic vineyard, are available year-round.

Marc Kreydenweiss, France
wineonline.ca
His biodynamic Alsatian whites are classics. Barbabelle ($13), a red from the Mediterranean coast, is an outstanding buy that sells out quickly.

Summerhill Pyramid Winery, B.C.
summerhill.bc.ca
Sparkling wines produced from organic grapes aged in a pyramid-shape cellar.

    I have yet to see a bottle of wine with the term "Organic Wine" on the label. What I have seen is. "Made from organically grown grapes" or "No Sulfites Added", but never "Organic Wine" The reason is because all wines contain sulfites, even so call "Organic Wines". The provincial owned liquor stores (LDB) in BC does a poor job in promoting this notion, with a Organic Wine section. Sorry folks, there doesn't appear to be an Organic Wine.
