ORGANIC VITICULTURE

ORGANIC VITICULTURE

Organic viticulture. This means manual labour, patience, careful use of natural resources, vitality and sustainability. Jochen Dreissigacker had this vision when he took over his parents winery. It should be a revolution in conventional viticulture. Converting to organic viticulture was just the cornerstone of a transformation process that continues to this day. Always questioning, rethinking and thinking ahead, never standing still - these are Jochen's maxims.
Years of experimenting and gaining experience have led to the Dreissigacker organic winery now consistently focussing on careful handling of plants, resources and the environment in the vineyard and cellar. As an organic winegrower, Jochen always has the goals of organic viticulture in mind. The preservation of natural soil fertility, the promotion of biodiversity and CO2-neutral work.

INSTINCT, COURAGE AND TRUST

To fulfil these goals and create the finest organic wines, Jochen spends countless hours in the vineyard. He observes nature closely and makes prudent decisions. Which plant protection gives the vines strength and vitality without harming nature? What soil composition gives the roots the ideal space to develop? Which greenery will nourish the soil?
Plant protection is minimized to the bare minimum. Species-rich greenery promotes biodiversity. And we fertilize exclusively with compost, for closed cycles and always according to the premise of giving back to nature exactly what we have received from it.
Jochen and his team are also fully committed to organic viticulture when it comes to the subsequent work in the cellar. In the production of organic wines, great importance is attached to working in a CO2-neutral way. Instead of using pumps, the precious organic wine is transported exclusively by gravity. This gentle way of working not only corresponds to the basic idea of organic viticulture, but also ensures the highest quality of organic wine.
Organic viticulture. An interplay of instinct, courage and trust in nature with the aim of achieving perfect balance. Wine perfection, but always with nature and the environment in mind. We live organic viticulture.
