Sustainability
Sustainability score: 5/10
Standard commercial viticulture; likely use of conventional farming, mechanized harvest, with basic efficiency in water/electricity to control costs. No evidence of advanced energy, soil, or biodiversity programs.
As an entry-level, high-volume Malbec from Mendoza under the 'Daily' moniker, sustainability practices are likely geared toward efficiency and affordability, not advanced environmental stewardship. No certifications, but typical for the segment. Tracks average for large-scale Argentine Malbec: some efficiency in water use and local energy production, but conventional agriculture and global export limit overall sustainability.
