Philosophy
We chose this approach because it provides a more authentic expression of the individuality of this terroir. In Biodynamics, we minimize the external agricultural input. We want to create a clean and healthy environment for the plants, bring the soil back to its natural state and express its unique conditions in the wines.
We see the Earth as a living entity and, to keep it fertile, we must keep it alive! We do this by stimulating the microbiology with biodynamic preparations, which consist of various medicinal flowers fermented in specific containers and cow dung preparations. These processes generate an exponential growth of microbes on substrates, both in quantity and diversification. These are then applied to the soil and plants at specific times of the agricultural year (lunar calendar), increasing levels of microbiology, organic matter and facilitating the relationship between nutrients and roots.
In Biodynamics, we treat the vineyard as an individual organism and respect the natural rhythms of nature. We seek the growth and diversification of biology and organize our various agricultural tasks following the lunar calendar and the cosmos' movements in their relationship with the soil's biological processes. All this goes hand in hand with our understanding of matter as a manifestation of subtle and invisible energies. We seek to equip our wines with these energies; they are living wines that transform every time you approach the glass!
