New Year, New Organic Wines

This family run winery neighbours the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Nacuñán and the family have planted a forest around their vineyards which serves to both promote biodiversity and as a natural barrier to protect the vines against the strong winds of the region.
The Soil Association's mission is to research and promote sustainable relationships between the soil, plants, animals, people and the biosphere, in order to produce healthy food and products while protecting the environment. According to the Soil Association the,
''UK organic market is now in its fifth year of strong growth and worth £2.09 billion. Total sales of organic increased by 7.1% in 2016 while non-organic sales continued to decline. Organic represents around 1.5% of the total UK food and drink market.''
