Gerd Schindler firmly believes in ecological viticulture, which consequently means forgoing herbicides, insecticides, highly synthetized fungicides or fertilizers while focussing on resource-efficient farming as well as wise soil management in accordance with biodiversity. For this aim, different varieties of herbs, clover and leguminous plants have been planted at every second row of the vineyards. These plants enrich the soil with plant available nitrogen and thus mineralise it naturally. It’s a win-win situation: competition between these plants and the vines results in a moderate growth of the grapes which allows them to gather significant substance and varietal aroma.<\/p>\n
Gerd Schindler firmly believes that ecological viticulture includes not only a respect for nature and the soil, but also for the lives of animals. Thus, the development of their new wine follows strictly vegan pinciples and for clarification and filtering abstains from animal substances such as gelatin, chicken protein or casein so that you can enjoy ecologically sound and responsibly developed wines of the highest quality.<\/p>\n
Individually distinct viticulture is more than the sum of agriculture and cellaring. It includes a wise management of the soil as well as the knowledge of what any individual vine may accomplish.<\/p>\n
Fertilization by adding humus to the soil, moderate pruning, a balanced leaf to fruit ratio, the knowledge of what any individual vine may accomplish as well as the decision when exactly to harvest the grapes: all this is just as much part of considerate viticulture as the little bit of luck any winemaker needs for climatically perfect conditions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
