Association for biodynamic viticulture founded in 2007 under the name "respekt" and based in Austria. In 2015, the name was changed to "respekt-BIODYN". Today, winegrowers from South Tyrol, Germany, Austria and Hungary belong to the association. The purpose of the group is to share the common path of biodynamic winemaking and to provide mutual training and support. Knowledge is expanded in the form of regular seminars and workshops. The logo is only awarded to wines that have been certified according to the respekt-BIODYN guidelines.

These wines are guaranteed to be produced biodynamically. The circle symbolises the earth and the closed cycle of nature (birth, life, death, composting, new life) but also the "agricultural farm individuality" (in the sense of a closed cycle). The stars and the moon symbolise the cosmos, which influences all life on earth. The six logos on the right represent the essential principles of biodynamic viticulture:

For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
