The Biodynamic method of culture allows us to farm our vineyards without chemicals. It also increases our awareness of all the external energies that interact with our eco system.

Healthy ripe fruit, grown in a natural environment is the best method for making good wine. We extend the philosophy that informs our practice in the vineyards to the cellar, always looking to conserve energy, working with gravity, recycling water and rejecting any use of chemicals. Once again this is done from a committed position based on respect for the environment.

Producing wine is a process intimately linked to the environment and its climate; as such, we are acutely aware of the plight of the worlds rainforests and the urgency, for us all, to strive to preserve nature’s balance.

The vineyards of Comte Cathare wines are cultivated with absolute respect for the environment. We seek to preserve the local eco system in as natural a state as possible, researching ways of allowing our vines to establish natural defences against their different predators. We feed our vines compost, made on each of our farms, to ensure our soil is nurtured with live matter. We use no chemicals in the process.

The Earth is a living organism and we do our part in trying to keep it that way. It is because of our beliefs that we have teamed up with the Rainforest Foundation to try to help its work in saving the rain forest and its people from extinction.

The environmental crisis predicted by an overwhelming body of specialists continues to go unheeded. Environmental threats are directly or indirectly linked to rainforest destruction and this is a concern to all of us at Comte Cathare.
