Our responsibility for the environment.
Corporate mission statement "Sustainability"
As winegrowers, we are aware of our responsibility for the environment. We are already working today with a sustainable and holistic approach in order to secure options for the future for our next generation.
The balanced interaction between economy, ecology and social responsibility is important to us.
Goals are designed for the long term and sustainability.
If you think you're too small to make a difference
then try to sleep when there is a mosquito in the room.
