: Organic WIne?; Posted by Heathen83, Feb 6.; Can anyone recommend a wine made from organically-grown grapes? Feel free to post. For my part, I enjoy Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon, from Hopland, Mendocino County, CA.

AUST- Botobolar, Tamberlaine, Temple breuer, Penfolds (Clare valley),Battle of bosworth,Ultrathorne
Rams leap (can get it in the US but as the FDA has a different set of rules for organic to Australia it is no longer marked as such in your country)
Robinvale (bio-dynamic), Krinklewood (bio-dynamic),
Henshcke in conversion
Cullen in conversion.
NZ- Richmond plains, Serison, New Yealands, Astrolabe can't remember anymore off the top of my head.
Some of these wines are avalible over there but as I said the rules are different and if not accredited by FDA can't be labelled organic even if accredited by it's own country.
You should be able to get Con Sur of Chille on of the biggest movers in this area (organic)

I don't know what the fixation with frogs and the organic folks.
