Why Regenerative Viticulture Matters
Regenerative viticulture goes beyond sustainability by actively enhancing soil health, biodiversity, ecosystem resilience, and social responsibility:
- Healthier Soils: Foster nutrient-rich, resilient soils for thriving vines.
- Higher Quality Grapes: Healthier vines produce grapes with richer flavor profiles and consistent quality.
- Environmental and Social Stewardship: Demonstrate leadership in sustainability, climate action, and social responsibility.
- Market Recognition: Build consumer trust with independent, third-party certification.
“Our certification is a toolkit that empowers vineyard owners to implement practices suited to their specific environment—whether that’s cover cropping, integrating livestock, or reducing chemical inputs.”
A Step-By-Step Guide to the Certification Process
What Vineyards Are Saying:
“Certified Regenerative by AGW provides a clear framework for identifying, measuring, and monitoring our own targets, with a unique regenerative plan and annual auditing to independently verify progress. It demands transparency from vine to bottle, ensuring our entire operation adheres to measurable and quantifiable objectives.”
Famille Gassier, a renowned estate in France’s Southern Rhône, embraced regenerative practices to boost resilience and enhance grape quality. Their Regenerative Plan includes increasing soil organic matter by 50%, diversifying crops, and creating wildlife habitats.
“Our Certified Regenerative by AGW logo means a great deal to us, both as custodians of the land and as a business. Our certification means that we have reached a benchmark of good regenerative practice. From here, we push onwards with our regenerative journey.”
Nestled beneath the Preseli Hills in West Wales, Jemma Vickers and Paul Rolt established and planted Hebron Vineyard in 2010, after spending nine years converting an established vineyard into an award-winning, non-intervention organic vineyard in Andalucia, Spain.
“Our goal is to work with growers who are making the right decisions in their vineyards today, so that one day we can all look back and be proud of the impact we’ve made. We are delighted to be bringing regenerative principles decisively into our supply chain and in front of a global audience.”
Founded in 2010, Maison Mirabeau is one of the most forward-thinking wine brands in the Cote de Provence. The grapes for its new ‘One Day’ rosé are sourced exclusively from vineyards managed according to the Certified Regenerative by AGW standards.
