Biodynamic®
A Way Of Life
“Biodynamic production methods yield grapes that are very true to the living earth, the light, the warmth, and the distinct archetypal rhythms that permeate and form the fruit of the vineyard.”
- Demeter USA Winemaking Standards
Biodynamic takes the organic standards we have come to trust to provide healthy nutrition and then goes a step further.
Everything we have come to appreciate about organic winemaking is the foundation of the Biodynamic process but with an added focus on sustainability. In a Biodynamic vineyard, the focus is on the health of the ecosystem, the diversity of the contributing parts, and the promotion of feedback loops within the system. Grapes are nourished by composts made on the land. Then, after winemaking, the leftover parts of the grape harvest are made into compost.
In 1996, Frey Vineyards became the first Biodynamic® no-sulfites-added winery in the U.S..
Our Biodynamic wines are crafted in harmony with the rhythms of nature and fermented on native yeasts without chemical pesticides or preservatives. As four generations of organic farmers and winemakers, we find that our care and respect for the earth are reflected in our wines’ expression of purity and true terroir.
