Food tourism has always been the norm with Malaysian travellers, where the taste of a place helps shape the entire experience of a destination. With an increasing emphasis placed on sustainable food and conscious consumption, we wanted to highlight a few biodynamic wineries in New South Wales that would be perfect places to visit during the New Year for the readers.
Some key facts about biodynamic wine:
Biodynamic wine is made with a set of farming practices that views the farm as a single ecosystem, with each portion of the farm or vineyard contributing to the next to create a self-sustaining system.
Natural materials, soils, and composts are used to sustain the vineyard.
Chemical fertilizers and pesticides are forbidden for the sake of soil fertility.
Biodynamic farming also seeks sustainability, or leaving the land in as good or better shape as they found it for future generations.
