Are there sulfites in Bonterra wine?

The grapes we grow that go into wines we label as ‘made with organic grapes’ are held to the same standards as grapes used to make organic wines. The main difference is that US regulation does not allow wines with any added sulfites to be labelled as ‘organic wine.’ Our winemakers have made the decision to use a limited amount of sulfites in our wines to ensure that the wine you open is the same quality as it was when we bottled it, so we label our wines as ‘made with organic grapes.’

The USDA “Made with organic grapes” certification allows a maximum of 100ppm of sulfites in wines made with organic grapes – that’s less than 1/3 of the amount of sulfites conventional wines are allowed. The average total sulfites for Bonterra wines are between 70 to 90ppm.

We recommend that you contact your physician regarding specific health concerns.
