So you’ve decided to switch things up and start drinking Organic wine. Good on ya, welcome to the club — the tasty, slightly rebellious world of wine without dodgy extras.
Whether you want to explore how your body reacts to different wines, are hunting for healthier wine options, or just sticking to your organic lifestyle, here’s how to spot the real deal when buying organic wine in Australia — no greenwashing allowed.
What Is Organic Wine?
Certified Organic wine means no synthetic chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides in the vineyard. In the glass, it means a massive reduction in the sort of things that can be added to grapes, juice, and wine before it hits your lips.
At Blind Corner, we practice organic and biodynamic farming on our Margaret River vineyard, producing fully certified organic wine from the soil to the vine to the bottle. If you don’t know what that means, you’re not alone. There are plenty of terms tossed around to catch your eye: natural, lo-fi, minimal intervention, preservative-free, vegan-friendly, organic principles, biodynamic principles, sustainable farming.
Certified Organic wine requires registration with a certifying body (Australia has some of the strictest standards globally). It takes a minimum of three years to become certified, with annual audits to prove what you’ve used on your soils, vines, and in your winery.
In short?
Organics take the bad stuff out. For your body. For the planet.
What Is Biodynamic Wine?
Certified Biodynamic wine is like Organic’s supercharged cousin. You still farm organically, but you also feed life back into the soil using compost, cover crops, and herbal brews (and the occasional cow horn filled with manure for good measure). It treats your entire property as an ecosystem in balance.
Sounds mad? Maybe. But biodynamic wine in Margaret River is the gold standard for healthy vines and mind-blowing wine quality. Healthy soils = healthy vines = vibrant grapes that don’t need doctoring in the winery.
Margaret River’s dry, sunny summers make this easier — less disease pressure, more ripe fruit, more party in your glass.
What’s the Difference Between Natural Wine and Organic Wine?
Here’s where people get confused. “Natural wine” is trendy, but outside France, it isn’t a legally defined term. In France, they created the Vin Méthode Nature label, requiring:
✅ Certified organic grapes
✅ Hand-picked
✅ Wild yeast fermentation
✅ No additives (except a dash of sulphur if needed)
✅ No industrial trickery like reverse osmosis or sterile filtering
Outside France, “natural wine” can mean anything. Your safest bet? Check for certified organic or biodynamic on the label when looking to buy organic wine online.
How Can I Tell If It’s Certified Organic?
Look for the certification symbol on the back label. In Australia, it’s illegal to claim “certified organic” without actually being certified. Beware of phrases like “we’re basically organic” or “we use organic principles” without proof.
Know your grower and don’t be afraid to ask questions. Transparency matters.
Is Organic Wine Actually Better for You?
We’re not your doctor, but here’s what we know: wine made from clean fruit, without synthetic chemicals or unnecessary additions, will likely leave you feeling better tomorrow.
The healthiest wines? Lower alcohol, certified organic or biodynamic, and made with nothing more than grapes and a touch of sulphur (if any). Wine is basically the only food in Australia that doesn’t have to list its ingredients. Curious what might be lurking in your average supermarket plonk?

What Is the Healthiest Wine to Drink?
Look for low sulphite wine, lower alcohol, and certified organic or biodynamic. Remember, “preservative-free” doesn’t always mean nothing else was added. Ingredients matter.
