Sustainability

We are currently filing for our Sustainability in Practice (SIP) certification with the Central Coast Vineyard Team, a local Paso Robles growers group.

This certification examines numerous aspects of a vineyard operation:

• Conservation and enhancement of biological diversity
• Vineyard acquisition, establishment and management
• Soil conservation and water quality
• Water conservation
• Energy conservation and efficiency
• Air quality
• Social equity
• Pest management
• Continuing education
• Product assurance and business sustainability
• Prohibited materials list (PML)

We support the Central Coast Vineyard Team in their efforts to create such a program and feel that it includes important aspects of a vineyard operation which other certifications do not address.
