The ECOVIN label brands wines and other grape products originating from organic wine growing and making. ECOVIN wineries foster biodiversity, vital soils and an ecological balance in their fields. The standard also comprises social and economic criteria.
ECOVIN, the Federal Association of Organic Viticulture, is the scheme owner. 245 wineries adhere to the standard that was established back in 1985. ECOVIN is the largest association of organic wineries in Germany.
ECOVIN certified member wineries are allowed to use the label. The compliance with EU organic regulations is mandatory but stricter criteria apply. All wineries are controlled by independent and accredited inspection bodies.
