Organic agriculture is more than simply a way of farming. It is also a philosophy. As once was said “we did not inherit the Earth from our forefathers, we are borrowing it from our descendants”. There is no doubt that growing using organic principles protects the environment and the people who work in the vineyards. The fundamental idea behind organic wine is that making wine from grapes without chemical fertilizers, weed killers, insecticides and other synthetic chemicals is better both for the planet and for the wine drinker.

Maintaining a healthy, biologically active soil is our main objective. In the vineyard it means cultivating the soil and planting cover crops, instead of applying herbicides. It means using natural fertilizers, versus chemical fertilizers. As for not using pesticides, the organic alternative is to encourage natural predators of insect pests instead of using poisonous insecticides. No wonder than you can easily find sparrows and blackbird nests among wine rows or on the trees, or notice the race of a hare or some pheasants among the bushes!Biodiversity as we intend it does help regulating the vineyard soil by attracting beneficial insects, spiders, as well as providing shelter and food (pollen, nectar and other bugs) and replaces the need for chemical pesticides or insecticides.
