Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Goyo García Viadero employs organic soil management, minimizes pesticides, utilizes drip irrigation for water conservation, and uses recycled packaging materials.

This wine benefits from sustainable viticultural practices reducing chemical use and conserving water. The producer’s focus on organic soil health, coupled with efficient water management, places it above average in sustainability within its price tier. Packaging uses light glass bottles to lower transport emissions. Import from Spain to international markets increases carbon footprint, however local sourcing for European markets mitigates that impact.
