With the close attention to vineyard conditions, it is no surprise that Van Duzer adheres to a philosophy of sustainable agriculture. We see our estate as a system of holistic winegrowing and believe that the highest level of fruit quality is achievable only through attention to soil health, biodiversity in the vineyard, and responsible pest and canopy management that relies on alternatives to off-farm inputs of chemicals and fertilizers.
Van Duzer Vineyards has been certified by
LIVE (Low Input Viticulture and Enology), the Oregon organization which developed and evaluates vineyards and wineries against a rigorous set of international standards, as well as
Salmon Safe and
IOBC. In the vineyards and in the production of our wines Van Duzer Vineyards uses absolutely no GMO (genetically modified organisms).
