Organic Wine Podcast

Frey Vines, the Organic Wine Podcast, is sharing everything about making organic wine in this 10th episode. We delve into how we make organic wine, why we make only organic wine, and what we think you need to know about making organic wine at Frey Vineyards. Molly Frey sat down for an interview with Eliza Frey to share about our best practices and how we are committed to organic wine at every step of the process. Open a bottle of your favorite Frey Organic wine while listening to us share all about how your favorite wines are produced!

No Sulfites Added

At Frey Vineyards, we pride ourselves on being a no sulfites added winery, making only wines that are produced without any chemicals added. A lot of people don’t understand what sulfites are, why they are used in winemaking, and why we would choose not to use them. In this episode of Frey Vines, Molly Frey sat down with Eliza Frey to discuss all things sulfite. We hope that this will shed some light for those of you curious about this synthetic additive and why we are committed to making exclusively no sulfites added wines at Frey.

The Land

The land where your favorite Organic and Biodynamic grapes are grown is home to a diversity of wildlife. With only about 10% of the Frey home ranch property developed for housing and winery buildings, the vast majority of the landscape remains wild for our wilderness neighbors. In this episode of the Frey Vines podcast, we’ll hear from our neighbor Cathy Monroe about the many indigenous plants and animals on the land. Today’s spotlight is on the land stewardship that is a part of our way of life at Frey Vineyards. Since the 1960s, the Frey family has made a home in Redwood Valley. Located in Mendocino County, in Northern California, the wild landscape above the Tomki Road Winery is filled with redwood groves, oak woodlands, and open meadows near deep woods.

Molly Frey recently met with Alexis Baden-Mayor from the OCA to discuss the history, present, and future of the organization. For a full transcript of the episode, visit www.freywine.com

The Wines

Welcome to the sixth episode of Frey Vines, the podcast devoted to telling the story of organic wine! Today, we’re focusing on all the many fantastic wine offerings from Frey Vineyards. Our 6th podcast episode shares all about the wine we make at Frey Vineyards. With several organic options available in our wine shop, this podcast explores our different varietals, our different labels, and different certifications. In the beginning of Frey Vineyards, we only produced a couple of varietals of wine, and those were the grapes that were historically grown on our home ranch, which were planted in the seventies. Over the years, as the business got established, people wanted more availability and selection in the organic and non-sulfited realm. When Frey opened our winery doors 45 years ago, we had no idea what a world of organic wine we would create. Being the first organic winery meant that we spent a lot of time in the early years educating and advocating for Organic wine’s place at the table. As the popularity for organics grew, we helped create the organic wine category in the industry, and we significantly expanded our wine offerings. We have held fast to our uncompromising commitment to creating the highest quality wines available for you to enjoy.
