Terrazas de los Andes, a pioneer of high-altitude winegrowing since the early 1990s, is proud to announce that they have achieved Regenerative Organic Certified® status (ROC) for 86 hectares (213 acres) of vineyards and for the winery, making them the 10th winery worldwide to earn this prestigious certification and the first Maison within parent company LVMH to receive it.
Currently, the winery's more than 500 hectares (1235 acres) of vineyards are being managed in a regenerative organic manner with the goal of achieving ROC certification for all by 2026.
The goal of the certifying organization, Regenerative Organic Alliance, is to promote holistic agriculture practices that increase soil organic matter over time; sequester carbon below and above ground; improve animal welfare; and provide economic stability and fairness for workers.
The certification is an important milestone within Terrazas de los Andes' comprehensive sustainability program, "Guardians of Mountain Life." "This recognition highlights our unwavering dedication to responsible farming practices and underscores our commitment to the well-being of the environment, our community, and future generations of wine lovers," states Terrazas del los Andes founder Hervé Birnie-Scott.
