NZ Organic Wine Awards 15
After a successful inaugural awards in 2014, The awards return for the '2015 NZ Organic Wine Awards'. Created to find,
promote and showcase New Zealand’s best organic wines the second annual NZ Organic Wine Awards.
The ‘New Zealand Organic Wine Awards’ is a ‘exclusively organic’ wine competition. In order to be judged, wine’s must be
created using 100% certified organic grapes. Vineyards may be certified by any of the following certification
authorities; Biogro, Demeter, Asure Quality or Organic Farm NZ. Organic wine is a fast market growth area, with consumer
demand growing exponentially. Organic Wine doesn't just offer health benefits such as being pesticide free, and lower in
sulphites; we believe using organic techniques can help to create a superior wine.
