How to Choose the Right Organic Wine Based on Your Taste
Ever found yourself standing in the wine aisle, lost in a sea of choices, trying to figure out which organic wine is right for you? You’re not alone. Choosing wine can feel daunting, especially when it comes to organic options, which often carry an aura of exclusivity. But here’s the good news – you don’t need to be a sommelier to find the perfect bottle.
At Dis&Dis, we believe wine should be approachable and fun, an experience, not a guessing game. Whether you’re sipping on your patio or hosting a dinner celebration, we’re here to help you find an organic wine that complements your taste perfectly.
Why organic wine?
Before we jump into the tips, why go organic? Organic wines are made using grapes grown without harmful pesticides, herbicides, or artificial fertilisers. What’s more, they’re crafted with minimal intervention, letting the true flavour of the grapes and their terroir shine. It’s wine that's as good for the planet as it is for your palate.
Now, let’s explore how to uncover the ideal organic wine for you.
1. Know your usual preferences
The best way to start your organic wine discovery is to think about the wines you already love. Do you gravitate towards dry whites like Sauvignon Blanc? Or are you all about bold, full-bodied reds like Cabernet Sauvignon? Your current preferences will act as a handy guide when choosing organic varieties.
Our tip
If you enjoy Merlot, try Biodynamic Merlot Organic from Chilean growers. Prefer a crisp white? A zesty organic Pinot Grigio from Italy might be your next favourite.
2. Understand the flavour spectrum
Wine tasting can be a bit like exploring a flavour map. Organic wines come in a broad range of flavour profiles, from fruity and floral to earthy and mineral-driven.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet to guide you through common flavours in organic wines:
- Fruity and jammy: Think organic Shiraz or Malbec. These wines burst with juicy berry flavours.
- Crisp and refreshing: Perfect for summer days, organic Sauvignon Blanc or Verdejo delivers a bright, citrusy vibe.
- Rich and smooth: An organic Chardonnay or Viognier with buttery notes fits well with hearty meals.
- Earthy and bold: For something robust and structured, opt for an organic Tempranillo or Sangiovese.
3. Pair wine with the moment
Sometimes, the perfect wine depends not just on your taste but also on the occasion. A lazy brunch calls for something light and bubbly, while an evening with friends may demand a complex red. Asking yourself, “What moment is this wine for?” is a game-changer!
Our pick for moments that matter:
Hosting a dinner? Pair dishes like roasted vegetables or cheese boards with an organic Spanish Garnacha. A bright Prosecco DOC Organic is ideal for celebratory toasts or relaxed afternoons.
4. Explore the tasting notes
Every bottle of organic wine comes with its own story. Explore the tasting notes provided on the bottle or retailer’s site. These notes are like a sneak peek into the personality of the wine. They’ll tell you if it’s light-bodied or full-bodied, citrusy or oaky, dry or sweet.
At Dis&Dis, we include tasting notes with every shipment to take the guesswork out of your wine experience.
5. Dare to try something new
While it’s great to stick with your favourites, the world of organic wine is rich and varied. Dare to discover new regions and styles! You might stumble upon an artisanal orange wine or a delightful organic sparkling rosé that becomes a new go-to.
