In the heart of the Costières de Nîmes, our vineyards are certified both organic and regenerative agriculture. Our commitment to regenerating the soil, ecosystems, and local communities has led us to embark on a number of ambitious projects. Under the leadership of Isabel, we’ve embarked in agroforestry, marking a significant step towards a form of viticulture that’s both sustainable and eco-friendly.
Diversifying Crops
On a 2.5-hectare experimental vineyard plot, we’ve recently planted 3 types of tree rows :
The 13 varieties of trees we’ve planted were selected after careful consideration of their ecological contributions and adaptability.
Benefits for the vine
Integrating these trees among the vines is intentional. They aid moisture regulation, offer air cooling in the summer, and contribute to soil enrichment, creating a more balanced environment for the vines. This strategy of plant diversification also prolongs the blooming period, attracting a wide variety of pollinators and bolstering the ecosystem’s resilience. This spring we will plant perennial flowers between the rows of fruit trees, introducing yet another layer of biodiversity to our vineyard.
Commitment to the future
This foray into agroforestry reflects our desire to rethink traditional viticultural practices by putting ecology at the forefront of our efforts. We’re dedicated to preserving our lands for future generations and addressing today’s climate challenges head-on.
On other plots we are reforesting and restoring surrounding woodlands. We believe that blending innovation with tradition can shape the future of viticulture.
Agroforestry is a key component of our regenerative farming approach, aimed at boosting biodiversity and improving the local microclimate, all while capturing atmospheric carbon.
