Floris Books

“We constantly notice when we are out talking to winemakers in different wine regions that more and more producers pay attention to how what they do in the vineyard affects the environment. Many winemakers that we meet start the process of ‘converting’ to organic farming.
There are rules for what that means – what an organic farmer can do and what is forbidden – rules that come both from public or government organizations and from private organizations. In addition, people also talk more and more about other related approaches: biodynamic winemaking, natural wines, sustainable farming.
In this book we explain them all.” Organic farming, biodynamic wine, natural wines, sustainable winemaking: what do all these concepts really mean, and what benefits can they bring to winemakers? This comprehensive book by two renowned wine experts explains the rules, the do’s and don’t’s of organic, biodynamic and natural wine production, both outside in the vineyard and in the wine cellar.
