Certification of Wine Production

Conducting certification of organic Wine Production is an important direction of our main activities, in which we have an extensive experience. Precisely, the first project in Ukraine was implemented under the Organic Standard certification.

Organic wine production refers to organic production associated with the production of wine using specific organisational and technological practices in winemaking, in accordance with the requirements of standards and regulations.

We have a proven track record in certifying wine production under international and private standards, such as the EU Organic Regulation, in Ukraine and Moldova.

The range of organic wine we certify depends on the grape varieties grown by the operators. Operators involved in winemaking mainly cultivate their own raw materials.

Certification involves the thorough verification and assessment of production methods and products to ensure compliance with organic regulations. We issue internationally recognised certificates upon successful certification, granting our clients access to premium organic markets.

Organic Standard provides a comprehensive range of services that encompass inspections and certification based on various standards and ongoing support for the Operator during the entire certification process. We place great importance on the expertise of our specialists and continuously enhance their skills and qualifications. As a result, this approach allows us to deliver high-quality service to our clients.
