LEVIN
is committed to increasing organic agriculture as well
as the protection of the environment. The goal is not
only to become a leader in excellent quality wines but
in commercial responsibility as well. We are perpetually
adopting new ideas with local farmers and the latest research
in regards to environmental protection. |
| Our
countryside location in the Loire Valley helps us to respect
and appreciate the soil, water and air that gives our
wines the wide range of flavour and ripening profiles
we strive for. LEVIN is environmentally
respectful in our path towards an organic management of
the vineyards. |
|
 |
In the
vineyards, we have limited chemical and pesticide usage but
instead combine biological and minimal mechanical methods
to handle insects. We also adhere to a strict soil conservation
program with our practices in leaf plucking, cover cropping
and no-till agriculture.

In
the winery, our use of skylights is energy efficient and
illustrates our environmentally friendly approach to business.
For LEVIN, hygiene is of primary
importance in the winery. Our equipment is constantly
maintained and cleaned throughout the year. Therefore,
conservation of water and waste is equally important. |
| LEVIN
utilizes a water pump system that services the winery
using treated recycled rain water. We are also conscientious
with waste water, which is treated and picked up for repurification.
These industrial practices place LEVIN
as an environmental leader in the region. |
