Sustainability

Sustainability score: 6/10

Producer states responsible farming with reduced agrochemicals and some water conservation. Bottling uses light glass; domestic distribution prioritized within Argentina and regional South American markets.

While Bodegas Urban practices basic responsible farming, the wine does not carry major sustainability or organic labels. Some positive initiatives (lighter glass, reduced chemical use, regional sourcing) offset by lack of third-party validation. Locally consumed bottles are environmentally preferable; export footprint typical for Argentine whites in this price tier. Overall a fair but not exemplary sustainability profile.
