Vineyard Practices

From the start we invested in converting the vineyards from conventional to sustainable farming with no tilling and no irrigation.

In 2022 we obtained the Portuguese Integrated Production Mode certification (PRODI), that we continue to work hard at, ensuring that every bottle of our wine represents our dedication to a greener and healthier future for the planet. 

In 2024 we achieved the Developed classification from the regional sustainability program https://sustentabilidade.vinhosdoalentejo.pt, of which we have have been members from the start. Having completely eliminated the use of herbicides (from day 1) we prioritize the use of bio-certified products and only when absolutely necessary. 

We have also established a mix of cover crops, with which we are still experimenting to optimize carbon capture, soil de-compaction, lowering soil temperature, improving water retention, reducing run-off and erosion, and last but not least increasing the levels of organic matter and general living soil health.

Winery Practices

Packing comes in many forms and types, and we strive to minimize the environmental impact of all the materials we use, from labels to boxes, whether it's using materials from certified renewable sources, staying away from plastics and minimizing the amount of printing and waste.
