Welcome!
Ecovinia International is a consultancy group specialising in providing ecological solutions for sustainable viniculture; the business of growing grapes and making wine.
Ecovinia - ecological viniculture - promotes sustainable wine businesses by applying the science and philosophy of ecology. We recognise the web of interdependence of the living and non-living elements in our world and that sustainability requires preservation of those relationships.
Ecovinia Philosophy
Ecovinia supports the development of sustainable fine wine businesses with the features of resilient, adaptable ecological systems in harmony with the biosphere.
Ecovinia - ecological viniculture - embraces a big picture - the whole ecosystem of interacting elements involved in the wine production. We recognise that each of the elements are important but they are nothing without well-functioning interactions.
Ecology is the scientific study of the relationships that living organisms have with each other and with their natural environment.
Ecovinia, based on scientific knowledge and sustainable technologies, not only identifies and nurtures the interactions between grapevines, other organisms and their vineyard environment but it also similarly identifies and nurtures key relations within the whole business system of wine production and its interactions with wine drinkers in order to sustain the creation of quality wines.
