When you purchase either our RIESLING MADE WITH ORGANIC GRAPES or our WALLULA VINEYARD BIODYNAMIC RIESLING, you're buying a wine made with grapes farmed by adhering to the most stringent viticulture standards known to the wine industry. Pacific Rim's Wallula Vineyard is the only Demeter certified Biodynamic® and certified Organic vineyard in Washington State. We utilize Biodynamic and Organic viticulture practices because we feel that an un-messed-with vineyard allows us to craft wines that communicate the purest essence of that vineyard and the most genuine sense of place.
What is Biodynamic farming? Biodynamic farming is like Organic farming on steroids (of course, without the steroids). Biodynamic farming seeks to create a farm system that is minimally dependant on imported materials, and instead meets its needs from the living dynamics of the farm itself.
The sheep at our Wallula Vineyard — nature's most diligent WEED KILLER — reside full-time at the vineyard. By protecting our vineyard ecosystem and by using no chemicals, herbicides or pesticides, our Wallula Vineyard grapes produce the purest expression of Riesling you'll ever experience.
