Sustainable viticulture is a “systems view of winegrape growing that considers soil building as the foundation, minimizes off-farm inputs, emphasizes economic profitability and concerns itself with environmental health and social equity.” – Cliff Ohmart. It is based on the logic of reducing chemical inputs into the vineyards in order to continue farming healthy grapes on healthy soils without the degradation caused by chemical compounds. It is ecologically sound, economically viable and socially responsible. The aim of sustainable winemakers are to farm as organically as possible while retaining the ability to react to adverse problems that could potentially ruin their harvest. Sustainable practices are adopted when the luxury of constantly farming organically is unavailable due to the complexity of certain areas and situations.
