The Independent Winegrower

Entrepreneur

The Independent Winegrower is an entrepreneur, leading a micro or small business, often a family-run enterprise. They are both a winegrower and a direct seller to the consumer.

The Vineyard

Independent Winegrowers maintain close ties with the land and their territory, where they cultivate the vineyard and produce their wines from their own grapes.

Terroir

Independent Winegrowers possess in-depth knowledge of the terroir. They respect and cultivate it using the best cultural and environmental practices.

Artisan

The primary characteristic of Independent Winegrowers is that they personally produce wines and spirits, aging or distilling them with care. This wine is not mass-produced; rather, it is an artisanal and unique product. This artisanal work, which combines know-how, experience, patience, and love, stands in contrast to the mass standardisation of wine production.

Consumers

Last but not least, Independent Winegrowers sell their wines and spirits directly to the final consumers through selected distribution channels. They enjoy explaining their craft whenever possible, selling much more than just wine, but also a story, especially when in contact with their customers
