This week I am adding the EU organic certification - Leo Hillinger is a certified organic estate and produces organic wines . A wine can be defined “Organic” when it is produced according to the  Regulation of the European Commission (EC) no. 203/2012 , that is:(in the vineyard) produced from “organic” grapes;(in the cellar) produced using only products and processes authorized by the Regulation (EC) No 203/2012.

In February 2012, new EU rules have been agreed. The new regulation has identified oenological techniques and substances to be authorized for organic wine, including a maximum sulphite content (set at 100 mg per liter for red wine and 150 mg/L for white/rosé).
