We do not apologise for our small selection of organic wines. It is simply because we find it extremely hard to find good ones!

Tanners is, however, highly committed to sustainable viticulture. As keen countrymen ourselves, we always try to buy from producers who operate in sympathy with the environment and do not reach for the sprayer at the first sign of trouble. More often than not, these are smaller family owned concerns.

You will find a number of wines marked with a butterfly symbol. We do not give these away lightly and only to people we are convinced are strictly following ‘lutte raisonnée’, sustainable agricultural methods. In addition these pick out biodynamic producers who follow an extreme form of organic cultivation taught by Austrian Rudolf Steiner in the 1920s.
