ORGANIC WINES
Organic wine is neither fad nor dogma, but an official certification with a set of rigorous criteria that a wine must meet to comply with regulations. All of our wines have been certified organic since 2012, although we introduced organic farming in our vineyards as early as 2008. This means we do not use systemic insecticides, inorganic or synthetic fertilizers, industrial insecticides or weed killers. Instead we work with natural organic fertilizers and techniques like pheromone traps or the Bordeaux mixture to control pests. By doing so, we maintain the biological rhythm of the grapevine and achieve naturally balanced vineyards. In terms of winemaking, we ferment with indigenous yeasts and clarify our wines with natural fining agents.
