Vineyard alley Eucalyptus

Presentation of Vignes allée Eucalyptus

On this unspoilt island, our vineyard embodies a holistic approach to agriculture. We practise 100 % organic viticulture, using no synthetic pesticides or chemicals, and preferring to work by hand.

 

Rather than fighting nature, we work with it. To preserve the balance of the vineyard, we introduce natural auxiliaries, such as trichogramma, which regulate the populations of lepidopterans (grape worms). Pheromone traps and confusion capsules complete this natural protection strategy.

Grass cover and minimum tillage are at the heart of our approach to keeping the soil alive.

Permanent plant cover protects against erosion and promotes biodiversity, enriching the soil with micro-organisms that are essential to the future quality of our wines.

Observe: one row in two remains grassed to limit soil compaction when the tractor passes over it.

Each row of vines is a commitment to the health of the land, the finesse of our wines and the well-being of those who love the island and its products.
