Biodynamic Wine Growing
Biodynamic Wine Growing
Wine growers are converting to biodynamic viticulture in record numbers. Some of the world’s best wines today are produced using biodynamic methods. At its heart, biodynamic viticulture is about understanding the nature of vines and their relationship to the environment. This beautifully illustrated and informative book will be of interest to both current biodynamic wine growers and those who are considering conversion to the use of biodynamic methods.
The book includes an introduction to the theory of biodynamic viticulture and the Goethean method of observation in relation to vines; practical articles on various aspects of wine growing, including biodiversity, pruning, and treating and preventing diseases; and case studies of biodynamic vineyards around the world.
Biodynamic wine expert Jean-Michel Florin has gathered contributions from several biodynamic viticulturists to create a beautiful, full-color book that is both a celebration of sustainable wine growing and an invaluable guide to the future of wine cultivation.
