All organic wine partners use agricultural and production processes that don’t pollute the air, the water or the soil.
Natural Merchants, an importer of high-quality organic wines and Biodynamic wines from family-produced organic wineries throughout Europe, is highlighting a range of organic wine in honor of Earth Day. All organic wine partners use agricultural and production processes that don’t pollute the air, the water or the soil.
“Earth Day is intended to inspire awareness of and appreciation for the Earth's environment,” says Edward Field, managing partner of Natural Merchants. “What better way to honor the Earth than to celebrate with wines made with organic grapes grown in harmony with nature, respecting the delicate ecosystem around us.”
