Americans have become increasingly sophisticated and discriminating about how they live, eat and play, within an ever changing world. One of the most pressing concerns regarding our health and environment is the use of chemicals and pesticides in the products we eat and drink. Wine is an agricultural product in which the use of chemicals, pesticides and added preservatives have increasingly become an issue to the consumer. Over the years, many wines have been released claiming that they are "Organic", but confusion still exists about just what constitutes an organic wine. While some wines are produced from grapes that are organically grown, most still have added sulfites and other preservatives that may cause allergic reactions or other health problems for sensitive people. The Organic Wine Works wines are not only produced from organically grown grapes, but are organically processed as well. We are one of two vintners that produces an organic, unsulfited wine that is nationally distributed and the first winery to release 100% certified organically processed wines in the United States. The Organic Wine Works has taken on a challenge that the rest of the industry has virtually ignored; producing quality wines that can be enjoyed by wine lovers who are sensitive to sulfites. Growing grapes without the use of chemicals is an environmentally conscious step. We feel that it is just as important for the winemaker to make the same efforts to maintaining the integrity of the "organic" concept. There are currently eleven wines under The Organic Wine Works label; three white, a rosé, and seven red. All have been grown and processed in accordance with the California Organic Foods Act of 1990 and are certified by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF). These wines are among a select few non-sulfited white and red wines available in the United States. LOCATION TELEPHONE WEBSITE
