Biodynamic Wine

Biodynamic wine is wine made from grapes farmed biodynamically. Biodynamic farming is a holistic approach to farming, which conceives the farm as a living organism and is based on anthroposophy, a philosophy founded in the early 1920s by the Austrian philosopher and scientist Dr. Rudolf Steiner.

What is Biodynamic Wine? | An Explainer by Primal

Biodynamic wine is crafted from grapes farmed biodynamically. This holistic approach views the farm as a living organism based on anthroposophy, a philosophy founded by Dr. Rudolf Steiner in the early 1920s. Unlike natural wine, which requires at least organic grapes and emphasizes non-interventionist winemaking, biodynamic wine doesn't necessarily adhere to natural winemaking practices. While many biodynamic wines are also natural, the primary criterion for biodynamic wine is that the grapes are farmed biodynamically, regardless of the winemaking method.

Biodynamic farming emphasizes the interdependence of plants, animals, and people, fostering an environment where each element is harmonious. Biodiversity is crucial, with various plants and animals introduced to enhance the natural resilience of the farm. This interplay between plants and animals, where animals support plants with manure and plants provide animal food and habitat, is a cornerstone of biodynamics. Animal welfare is prioritized, with animals fed natural diets and raised in free-range conditions.

Chemical fertilizers are forbidden, with soil fertility maintained through composting, cover cropping, and crop rotation. Pest and disease prevention is achieved by promoting biodiversity, which helps keep the natural balance. Biodynamic farming is more than just agriculture; it's a regenerative practice integrated into the community, often involving community-supported agriculture focusing on ecological, social, and economic sustainability. It's a form of spiritual farming where practices align with the biodynamic calendar, reflecting the influence of the cosmos on the environment.

Frequently asked question

Natural wine is generally made from organically or biodynamically farmed grapes, fermented with native (wild) yeasts, and produced with minimal intervention—no additives beyond little or no sulfur, and often unfined and unfiltered. There’s no single legal definition, but transparency, low sulfites, and hands-off winemaking are core principles.

There’s no scientific proof that natural wine is “healthier.” It still contains alcohol. However, many natural wines use organically or biodynamically farmed grapes, fewer additives, and lower sulfites, which some people prefer or tolerate better. Bottom line: choose transparently made bottles you enjoy—and drink in moderation.

It aligns with what drinkers want: transparency, sustainability, and distinctive flavor. Made from organically or biodynamically farmed grapes and fermented with native yeasts, natural wine is low-intervention, often lower in sulfites, and showcases terroir and small producers—delivering character, ethics, and authenticity.

No. Natural wine still contains alcohol—the primary cause of hangovers. Lower sulfites and fewer additives don’t guarantee a headache-free experience. How you feel depends on alcohol content, hydration, quantity consumed, and personal sensitivities (histamines, tannins, sugar). Choose well-made natural wines, pace yourself, eat with your wine, and drink water.

No. Natural wine revives long-standing methods—organic/biodynamic farming, native-yeast fermentation, minimal additives—and meets enduring demand for transparency, sustainability, and terroir-driven flavor. Its growth across regions, retailers, and restaurants signals a lasting category, not a passing fad.
