Organic Winemaking in Kyiv Region: Biologist Receives Organic Standard Certification

31.01.2025, News Автор: Victoria Makarova

The Biologist winery based in Kyiv region has officially been granted Organic Producer status by Organic Standard, the first Ukrainian certification body for organic production, recognized in the EU, Switzerland, and Canada.


The certification meets both Ukrainian and EU standards. Biologist received it for wines produced from grapes grown in their vineyards in the Kyiv region (the company also owns vineyards in Odesa region).

“This process started three years ago and has finally been accomplished. It has been a complex and challenging journey of learning and research,” commented Igor Petrenko, Biologist’s co-owner and winemaker, on this joyful occasion.

The key principle of organic winemaking is the absence of chemical substances in the soil and vineyard, as well as the pursuit of harmony between humans and plants. Organic production is not just a trend. For Biologist, it is a philosophy rooted in the desire to offer winelovers a product that is both high-quality and natural. The Biologist team cares not only about consumers but also about the future of their homeland’s environment and nature.

“The Organic Standard certificate confirms that our grapes are grown with care for the ecosystem, without chemical fertilizers or pesticides. It may seem strange to focus on the land and vineyards during a devastating war, but we believe it is incredibly important. For us, organic certification is yet another step toward excellence,” reflects Petrenko.

Wines produced from grapes grown in Biologist’s certified organic vineyards in Kyiv region are featured in the “Pershotvir” collection. These wines are crafted from exceptionally high-quality grapes and made with minimal intervention.

“These wines are complex and quite different from classic wines,” says Igor Petrenko. “They have incredibly beautiful aromatic characteristics and a certain amount of sediment—this is because they are unfiltered. We are returning to ancient traditions, making wines without chemicals, using only natural treatments, and practicing minimal intervention. ‘Pershotvir’ is a product we are proud of, it demonstrates our unique terroir features and the principles we uphold: the purity of nature, the craftsmanship of the winemaker, and the pursuit of harmony.”

The Drinks+ editorial team sincerely congratulates the entire Biologist team on this achievement, which is significant not only for them but also for Ukrainian winemaking as a whole. We wish them incredible success and outstanding vintages!
