Protecting our environmental ecosystem!!!

Environmental Stewardship Initiatives

We practice environmentally sound yet economically viable solutions so that we can continue to grow grapes in our location for generations to come.  We are dedicated to our land and strive to maintain healthy environments for ourselves, our neighbors, our communities and our visitors.  This focus on healthy soil, water, air enables us to use native yeast from the grapevines in our

Blanc Du Bois wines.

Vineyard

In the vineyard various methods to protect and sustain the land:

• drip irrigation systems allow us to lessen the impact to our water tables and water only as needed based on vineyard soil measurements. 
  

• We grow grape varieties that are Pierce Disease resistant and thus eliminating chemicals  that impacts our bee and other beneficial insect communities.

• We use parasitic wasps to address Grape Berry Moth berry issues in the vineyard rather than applying insecticides.
