Almost everybody knows organic fruit and vegetables. But what about organic wine? Well, it does exist – Pfneiszl Winery has been producing it since 2006.
Birgit Pfneiszl travelled all around the world and saw that organic viticulture is a viable system. True enough, you have to go out in the vineyard every day, watch the weather carefully… it requires more attention. But the conditions on the Pfneiszl estate are ideal: a lot of wind, a lot of sunshine, and the grape bunches are well-spaced on the vines.
In 2006 the Winery signed a contract with the organic inspection and certification organisation Biokontroll Hungária. Since then, Biokontroll regularly verifies that no synthetic chemicals are used on the estate.
Returning to nature has involved a huge amount of work but has had its reward. Since the 2009 vintage Pfneiszl Winery has been offering organic wines to their customers.
