organic viticulture

Organic viticulture is the practice of growing grapes for wine while avoiding synthetic chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers. Instead, it emphasizes natural techniques like composting, crop rotation, and organic-approved treatments to maintain healthy soil and vine health. The goal is to produce grapes in harmony with the environment, promoting biodiversity and sustainability. This approach often results in wines that reflect the true expression of their terroir, or unique environmental characteristics. Organic viticulture adheres to strict standards to ensure no artificial substances are used throughout the growing process.
