SUSTAINABLE, ORGANIC and/or biodynamically farmed grapevines are healthier vines and make sturdier, more expressive wines. A lot of folks might disagree with the statement above. But what is beyond debate is the growing movement toward viticulture that places the care of the earth itself as the priority. And here in the Pacific Northwest, certification for "Salmon Safe" and "LIVE" (Low Input Viticulture & Enology) farming practices provides vineyards and wineries official recognition for sustainable agricultural practices modeled after international standards.
