Grape 'N' Green: Organic Wine Collection

Six bottles on the table, none above twelve euros. Grape ‘N’ Green sent over a box of organic wines from France and Spain, and the first question is the right one: what do you actually get for that money?

The short answer: more than expected.

A Natural Approach to Wine

Grape ‘N’ Green’s philosophy is straightforward. Good wine should be organic and affordable. They work with European winemakers who farm without synthetic inputs, and keep prices low by buying direct.

In a vineyard with beneficial insects, cover crops and a living soil, grapes develop more character. The difference between herbs from your garden and herbs from a supermarket, in liquid form.

The Wines

France first, then Spain.

Pierre & Nico Chardonnay Blanc 2022

Golden apple, white flower, crisp finish. €11.95. Works with seafood pasta or just as an aperitif while cooking.

Pierre & Nico Syrah Rouge 2020

Dark fruits, a whisper of spice, smooth enough for a second glass. €11.49. Hearty stews, winter evenings.

Bodegas Vega de Tera Sitrama Verdejo “Metallum” 2022

High-altitude vineyards in Castilla y León give this Verdejo its freshness. Zesty, elegant, €8.95. Shellfish, terrace.

Bodegas Vega de Tera Sitrama Tinto “Terra” 2021

Organic Tempranillo, red fruit, just enough structure. €8.95. The midweek bottle for midweek dinner.

Domaine l’Escattes Les Parcelles Blanc 2021

Grenache Blanc, Bourboulenc and Viognier. Citrus and white flower, body that never gets heavy. €11.95.

Domaine l’Escattes Les Parcelles Rosé 2021

Delicate berry, fresh citrus finish. €10.95. More than a summer pleaser, also fine with a light meal in November.

Why These Wines Work

The organic certification is one thing. The practice behind it is what you taste. No synthetic pesticides, lower sulfite levels, cleaner winemaking. Many drinkers report fewer heavy heads the next morning.

The vineyards themselves are living ecosystems. Soil that breathes, biodiversity doing the work that otherwise has to come out of a spray can.

The Verdict

The standard idea that organic means expensive doesn’t hold here. Grape ‘N’ Green found producers who prove the opposite, and the selection got recognition in De Grote Hamersma. For under twelve euros a bottle you get wines you drink midweek without compromise.
