SWR Member Interview: How to work with nature, not against it

In this Sustainable Wine Roundtable (SWR) Member Interview podcast Hanna Halmari speaks with Romain Ott, winemaker at the Provençal winery Château Léoube.

Romain shares the estate’s approach to sustainability, specifically their focus on organic viticulture and biodiversity. Romain underscores the importance of protecting and restoring nature through maintaining and regenerating what already exists: We need to work with the nature, help it and guide it, rather than trying to “recreate the environment.”

They also discuss the impact of climate change in the Provence region, how winemakers are adapting, the role of innovation, and more.
