CURRENT BEST SELLERS / VITICULTURE & HOW TO GUIDES
Biodynamic Wine, Demystified Nicolas Joly, Foreword by Mike Benziger and Joshua Greene
“Wine is made in the vineyard” is the mantra of many a winemaker. But what does that mean, really? Esteemed winemaker and biodynamic pioneer Nicolas Joly believes a wine that is
well-made in the vineyard must express its unique terroir: the character imbued by a vine's particular plot of well-tended earth. In Biodynamic Wine, Demystified Joly shares the core philosophy behind biodynamic viticulture and why such practices result in wines of regional distinction. This process treats the vineyard as a self-per- petuating ecological whole, influenced not only by terrestrial forces but the sun, moon and cosmos. He explains why the use of foreign substances like pesticides and fertilizers in the vineyard, and aromatic yeasts and enzymes in the cellar, as well as mechanisms like electric motors and pumps, disrupt this synergy and are ultimately counter- productive to a wine's best, consistent expression.
