In order for wine to be labeled “organic”, the wine has to be produced with organically grown grapes and be sulfite-free. It may have some naturally occurring sulfites, but the sulfite level must be really low. Wine’s which contain sulfites, but are grown with organic grapes will have “made with organic grapes” or “made with organically grown grapes” labels on them.
Many people insist that wines, which are sulfite-free or have very low levels of sulfites don’t taste as good. I happen to think organic wine has more personality. Organically grown wine is processed less and relies on grape perfection for flavor. For those who want to lighten their carbon footprint while also discovering the depth of individuality wine can achieve, organic wine is a great choice.
The Bonterra Syrah 2006 is one of my favorite wines. Maintained through an organic growing process, the Syrah vineyards are entering their prime. The Bonterra Syrah blends a touch of Rhone varietals like Mouvedre and Viognier for a powerful floral note. And the berry flavors and toasty oak spice (from the wine aging in French oak), makes this wine a delicious, yummy does of organic goodness. you can purchase a bottle and many other great organic wines at Wine.com.
