What to Look For on the Label

When shopping for organic or natural wines from Northern Delaware, look for certification logos (CCOF, Demeter for biodynamic, Oregon Tilth) or the term "estate-grown" which implies closer farming control. Wines labeled "minimal intervention" or "no added sulfites" reflect winemaking philosophy. Not all Northern Delaware's best natural wines carry formal certification, some of the most committed producers simply practice what they believe without the cost of certification.
