UK Vineyard Adopts Biodynamic Method In Wine Making Process
Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard, an East Sussex-based vineyard in the UK, has adopted the biodynamic cultivation method in the wine making process.
Sedlescombe said that, notwithstanding all the normal organic rules, additional procedures, based on the creation of naturally fermented substances, have now been introduced at its facility.
The vineyard noted that these solutions are applied to increase microbial activity, either to the soil directly or via specially prepared compost, and specific quartz based sprays are also applied to increase light absorption and enhance grape sugar levels.
The biodynamic method calls for the timing of spraying, pruning and planting activities to be followed in a calendar based on lunar and cosmic movements.
Roy Cook, owner and wine maker at Sedlescombe Vineyard, said: For me, the challenge of creating high quality wines within a balanced and diverse ecology has always been my objective; the long term sustainability and more carbon neutral approach offered by introducing biodynamics seems a natural progression to this goal.
Some of the most prestigious organic vineyards on the planet are biodynamic - from Frick in France to Milton in New Zealand and every wine producing country in between - I am convinced the method works and am proud to be the first to produce biodynamic wines in England.
The product portfolio of Sedlescombe Organic Vineyard includes white wines, red & rose wines, sparkling wines, liqueurs and ciders, and fruit juices.
