THE HVE: High Environmental Value

THE HVE: High Environmental Value

HVE-logoWe are working on obtaining the High Environmental Value certification (a certification awarded by the Ministry of Agriculture) for our vineyard. Since 2011, we have focused our actions on four initiatives:

  • Stopping the use of herbicides and insecticides (50% of the vineyard is plowed and 25% is planted with grass)
  • Preserving the biodiversity (beneficial flora and fauna – natural predators)
  • Rebuilding the hedgerows to encourage an ecosystem that promotes harmony in the vineyard
  • Continually upgrading the standard of the buildings and facilities that are used to separate wastewater and recover rainwater
