THE ECOLOGICAL VINEYARD
In 2015 Williams & Humbert began to work with ecological grapes from the Burujena and Maritata pagos, or vineyard zones. The result, launched in 2018, was the first Ecological Fino from the Jerez Region: Fino en rama Vintage 2015. This organic is the result of a careful process that from its very beginnings, from the harvesting of this ecological grape, to the pressing plant where it is processed, the alcohol for fortification and the place where the wine is aged, all comply with the requirements for ecological certification.
Ever since 2015 our winery has been cultivating its own ecological vineyard of around 40 hectares, including both Pago de Añina and Pago Carrascal. In this way, the winery faces up to the challenge of ecological winegrowing with the aim of producing certified ecological wines from the Jerez Region. This winegrowing system has been developed using techniques regulated by ecological norms, with special practices such as pruning and improvements to the fertility of the soil using treatments that respect and even improve the development of auxiliary fauna.
In addition, Williams & Humbert joined the collaboration protocol of the Inditec Task Force, whose objective is to work towards the achievement of ecological wines, originating from sustainable vineyards that incorporate innovative measures in their production processes.
Public institutions, wineries, associations of winegrowers and research centres join together in this task force that has sprung from the alliance led by Diputación and designed by the European Agency for Innovation in the context of the Horizon 2020 strategy for sustainable, intelligent and integrated growth.
