In 1980, Karl Schefer founded Delica-Natura, the first company in Switzerland to specialise purely in the organic wine trade. Delica-Natura became today's Delinat AG in 1983. In 1991, the company expanded to include the subsidiary Delinat GmbH, based in Weil am Rhein and specialising in the German market. All wines in the range must at least comply with EU or Swiss organic guidelines. The first version of the company's own guidelines for organic viticulture was drawn up back in 1983 in co-operation with organic wine experts.
