Where Enjoyment Meets Healthy Soils - Delinat and Soil to Soul

Delinat is a true pioneer in the world of organic winemaking, well-known for its strict standards, deep commitment to soil health, and a fantastic range of top-notch organic wines. Sharing a fundamental belief in environmentally conscious viticulture, there's a natural connection between Delinat and Soil to Soul, which is why we're so thrilled to be working together this year.

Who are we partnering with?

Today, Delinat boasts around 250 wines from Europe's best vineyards, actively promoting rich biodiversity within their vine rows and striving for climate-neutral wine production. Their vineyards are shining examples of sustainable practices, cultivating a diverse and thriving ecosystem rather than simple monocultures. You'll find trees, shrubs, hedgerows, natural meadows, woodlands, and ponds nestled amongst the vines, providing vital habitats for a wide array of wildlife. This balanced interaction boosts the vitality of the grapevines, naturally reduces pest problems, and creates the perfect conditions for producing high-quality grapes with unique character.

Their winemakers follow over 100 precisely laid-out Delinat guidelines – going significantly beyond typical organic farming rules. Their aim, both in the vineyard and the cellar, is to achieve the highest possible quality while keeping intervention to an absolute minimum. Sustainability is a key focus throughout the entire process, from how the wine is made to the packaging and shipping. Regular, independent checks ensure they're meeting these high standards, guaranteeing a pure wine experience that truly reflects its origin. Only wines that consistently impress on both aroma and taste make it into their selection.

Our Partnership

The partnership between Delinat and Soil to Soul is built on the shared understanding that the enjoyment of good wine and the preservation of our soils go hand in hand. Together, we want to inspire wine lovers, offering insights and practical ways that regenerative farming can foster a wine culture that's both environmentally responsible and a genuine pleasure.

Our Winemaker Favorites

  • Weingut Lenz

    For over 30 years, Roland and Karin Lenz have passionately and innovatively run their winery in Iselisberg. It has since become the largest biodynamic wine farm in Switzerland, with an impressive annual production of around 300,000 bottles. The Lenz family has received numerous awards for their particularly mindful approach to the soil and their sustainable methods, including being named «Organic Winemaker of the Year» and winning four gold and three silver medals at the Swiss Organic Wine Awards in 2021. Since 2023, the winery has consistently focused on fungus-resistant grape varieties (PIWIs), which significantly reduce the use of plant protection products and thus help protect the environment. The ecological approach is complemented by mixed cultures of hazel, walnut, and mulberry trees, as well as the cultivation of spelt, oats, and wild herbs. Additionally, through targeted clearings on around 15% of the land, space is created for new PIWI vines, further promoting biodiversity.

  • Vitikultur Moser

    The Sepp Moser family winery is deeply rooted in Austria’s winemaking heritage. For more than 17 generations, the family has been devoted to viticulture — a remarkable tradition that dates back to the very beginnings of quality wine production in Austria. Sepp’s father, the legendary Lenz Moser, revolutionized viticulture with his vine training system, which went on to influence winegrowing practices around the world. The present-day winery was founded by his son Sepp Moser in 1987 in Rohrendorf, just one kilometer from the Danube River. In addition to 24 hectares of top vineyard sites in the Kremstal region, the estate also includes 27 hectares near Lake Neusiedl. In 2000, the winery fully transitioned to organic viticulture, and since 2006, all Sepp Moser wines have carried the Demeter certification for biodynamic farming. The philosophy in the vineyard continues in the cellar, where a “less is more” approach is key: fermentation is entirely spontaneous, and enzymes or cosmetic interventions are consciously avoided.

  • Maggio Vini

    Amid a landscape dominated by industrial buildings and greenhouses, the vineyards of Massimo and Barbara Maggio in southern Sicily stand out like vibrant oases. Surrounded by orange, mandarin, olive, and mulberry trees, with wildflowers blooming between the vine rows and herb gardens filling the air with fragrance, the land radiates pure, unspoiled nature. In 1998, Massimo Maggio became one of the first winemakers in Sicily to transition to organic farming. Since then, he has remained committed to putting nature first across his 40 hectares of vineyards. This dedication is especially evident in the vineyard he tends within the protected nature reserve at Lago Biviere, that is a vital resting spot for migratory birds traveling between Europe and Africa.

  • Felline

    Felline is a celebrated winery in Manduria, Apulia, founded in 1992 by Gregory Perrucci, a passionate visionary from a family deeply rooted in winemaking traditions. Today, the estate spans around 90 hectares, where native grape varieties like Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Susumaniello thrive among ancient olive groves and a patchwork of diverse soils that give each wine a unique voice.

  • Weingut zur Römerkelter: Dienhart Weine

    Timo Dienhart runs his organic winery on the banks of the Moselle with passion and a deep commitment to sustainability. Since 2005, he has been at the helm of his family’s estate, Zur Römerkelter, working closely with his father Hans to cultivate wine in harmony with nature. Hans was already ahead of his time — he stopped using herbicides as early as 1977. A philosophy Timo continues to pursue with dedication. To foster biodiversity and protect the soil from erosion and moisture loss, Timo uses custom-designed wild herb seed mixtures. His approach has proven so effective that neighboring winemakers now sow his special blend across an additional 90 hectares of vineyards in the region. In the vineyard, Timo thins the leaf canopy early in the season, allowing the grapes to soak up generous sunlight. As a result, the berries remain small and thick-skinned — ideal conditions for developing concentrated, distinctive aromas. In the cellar, his Rieslings are left to rest on the fine lees for an extended period, preserving their full character and purity. It's a patient, thoughtful process that reflects Timo's deep respect for the land and the craft of winemaking.

  • Château Coulon

    Louis Fabre sees himself as a guardian of a centuries-old tradition: for at least twelve generations, his family has cultivated vines in a small village near Narbonne, in the south of France. He focuses primarily on heritage red grape varieties known for their full body, rich fruit aromas, spicy notes, and solid structure. His Grenache and Mourvèdre blends are among the most beloved Delinat wines. The vineyard conditions are near perfect: With sun-drenched skies, minimal rainfall, and limestone-rich clay soils providing an excellent foundation. Yet Louis goes far beyond relying on nature alone. He takes additional steps to benefit both the vines and the surrounding ecosystem. His vision is to interconnect all of his vineyards in a way that restores ideal living conditions for local wildlife and plant life, creating a thriving natural cycle. Over several kilometers, hedgerows and isolated trees have been planted to link habitats. Small ponds, secondary crops, and wild scrubland serve as ecological buffer zones, further enriching biodiversity and ensuring long-term sustainability.

  • Vale de Camelos

    In 1981, Horst Zeppenfeld from Bremen fulfilled a lifelong dream. In the hot Alentejo region of southern Portugal, one of the sunniest areas in Europe, he acquired 1,000 hectares of land. The soil had been severely eroded by decades of intensive farming, but Horst had a vision. Today, Vale de Camelos (the Valley of the Camels) is fully managed according to organic principles. Over the past 30 years, around 600 hectares have been sustainably reforested, with approximately 315,500 trees and shrubs planted. Biodiversity is at the heart of it all. Alongside vineyards, olive groves, and fruit trees, the revitalized soil now supports flowers, grasses, and herbs — creating habitats for butterflies, birds, insects, reptiles, and countless soil organisms. Five reservoirs have also been built to capture rainwater that would otherwise run off unused. These not only provide irrigation during dry periods but have become thriving ecosystems, where up to 1,500 cranes and other rare migratory birds gather each winter.

  • Albet i Noya

    In 1972, Josep Maria Albet i Noya took over the family vineyard in Catalonia together with his brother Antoni. By 1978, they became the very first pioneers of organic viticulture in Spain. Today, the winery continues to lead the way through innovative research focused on developing disease-resistant native grape varieties adapted to a changing climate. One such breakthrough was the development of the first naturally fungus-resistant Xarel·lo grape, a variety that allows for climate-friendly cultivation without compromising its signature aroma. The estate spans around 80 hectares of limestone and clay-limestone soils, set in a classic Mediterranean landscape. A personal priority for Josep is preserving the region’s dry-stone walls. These are not only a valuable part of cultural heritage but also a vital habitat for local wildlife. In addition to its exemplary farming practices, Albet i Noya is also known for producing premium sparkling wines. The winery was recognized for its commitment to sustainable viticulture by Spain’s Ministry of the Environment in both 2007 and 2011. It has also been a long-time supplier of house sparkling wine to El Celler de Can Roca, twice named the best restaurant in the world.

  • Fasoli Gino

    This winery tells the story of four generations deeply rooted in eastern Verona. In 2025, Fasoli Gino will celebrate its 100th anniversary. Back in the 1980s, when family members began suffering from pesticide-related allergies, they turned to cover cropping and green manure, allowing grass, flowers, and wild herbs to grow between the vines. In 1984, they fully converted to organic farming, becoming one of the pioneers of organic viticulture in Italy. Today, the estate is run according to biodynamic principles and regenerative agriculture. For the Fasoli family, sustainability means leaving the land in better condition than they found it. This commitment continues in the cellar as well, where renewable energy, reduced water use, and recyclable materials are all part of the process.
