Discover Mudgee’s Organic Wines
When a winemaker says their wine is organic, they mean the grapes have been cultivated without the use of pesticides and herbicides or artificial fertilisers, which is kinder to our health and the environment.
In Mudgee, we’re lucky to have a long history of organic winemaking, starting with Australia’s first ever certified organic vineyard, Botobolar. Today, we’re seeing organic grape growing and winemaking techniques from quite a few others. Scroll down to learn more about the best organic wine in Mudgee.
