The Best Sustainable & Organic Wines to Try Now

Buying a bottle of wine is often daunting, and when you go for natural and organic wines, you open up a whole new world of wine terminology to muddle through. 

Organic? 

Biodynamic? 

Cabernet? 

Pinot Grigio? 

The language of wine can feel like a lot to learn, so it’s understandable why many people think that when you tack on more certifications, you also add a few dollar signs to the price tag.

If you’re looking to add a box of wine to your next order, here are some of our favorite affordable organic wines to try this season—all for less than $20.

Freehome Shiraz, 2020
Values: Organic, Sustainably farmed
This Australian red tastes of wild berries mixed with hints of black pepper, and the clean, jammy flavor pairs well with grilled meats (Sommelier tip: it’s best served slightly chilled!).

Madonnabruna Rosso Piceno Cugnolo 2019
Values: Sustainably farmed, Pesticide-free
With tasting notes of dark red fruits, vanilla, and thyme (and just a hint of tobacco), this blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese grape varietals is a perfect pairing for pastas, grilled chicken, or red meats. 

Pago Casa Gran Reposo 2020

Best Organic & Sustainable Sparkling Wines 

Etincelle Crémant de Loire Brut
Values: Sustainably farmed, Pesticide-free
This sparkling Crémant wine is made similarly to champagne, but using Chenin Blanc grapes. It has a mineral, floral flavor thanks to the soil the grapes are grown in, and it pairs well with oysters, poultry, or fruity desserts.

Fresh, citrus, and softly sparkling, this Italian Prosecco is ready for a meal of seafood, cheese, and cured meats.
