In the vineyard: How does sustainability regenerate vineyards without organics?

This is a recording of a panel session from the SWR Global Conference Series 2023  “The sustainable vineyard and winery in 2030” conference from 3rd May 2023.

In the vineyard: How does sustainability regenerate vineyards without organics?

Those who work in sustainable viticulture know that organics are not the solution to sustainable vineyards at scale. So without spending our time knocking organics, we focus this session on answering the question: “What does sustainability in vineyards, at scale, look like?” SWR has a working group of leading large scale producers looking at this. We consider their views and have an interactive discussion.

Speakers:

• Stephen Cronk, Chairman of Trustees, Regenerative Viticulture Foundation
• Bruno Le Breton, Owner & Winemaker, BLB Vignobles
• Michele Manelli, Owner & Winemaker, Salcheto Winery
• Dr. Charles ‘Merf’ Merfield, Merfield Agronomy Ltd 

Moderator: David Harvey, Raeburn Fine Wines
