Certifications and Codes of Conduct
919 Wines holds organic certification with Southern Cross Certified for our grapes and our wine.
Our two vineyards produce certified organic fruit to the Australian Organic standard. This means we use no systemic fungicides, but instead use nutrient foliar sprays that we produce ourselves and sustainable farming practises.
Our winery is certified to produce certified organic wine. We make wine to the Food Standards Australia & New Zealand standard 4.5.1 and the Australian Organic Standard. We use minimal processing aids and preservative - just enough to bring you a product that is fresh and inviting without the addition of enhancers. Just plain, good old-fashioned winemaking.
Some of our products are not certified, but we still make them using organic growing and winemaking techniques. Our fortified wines are made using non-certified organic spirit, and our sparkling wine is made under contract by another processor.
Our certification number is SXC 20044.
