Sustainability

Sustainability score: 6/10

Partial integrated pest management, moderate water conservation techniques, use of lightweight bottles to reduce transport emissions

The long-distance import increases carbon footprint relative to local wines, but overall the producer’s practices contribute positively to environmental responsibility.
