LEVIN is committed to organic agriculture and protection of the environment. We adhere to a strict soil conservation program utilising no-till agriculture technique of leaving residue from previous crops to decay on the surface. The immediate advantages of No-Till agriculture helps reduce erosion, revitalize the soil structure and soil microbiology and improves the terroir. |

Combined with our practices in leaf plucking and cover cropping (to improve soil fertility and increase bio-diversity and a recycling water pump system that services the winery using treated recycled rain water, underpins LEVIN Wines and protection of the environment.
David Levin is personally committed to eco-sustainability, even investigating the possibilities of using horses to work the land, a dream he hopes to realise someday soon.
Key factors were taken into consideration when establishing the LEVIN vineyards and throughout the many years of developing the selection of award winning wines:
A commitment to land conservation in order to:
• reduce erosion,
• revitalize the soil structure
• improve soil microbiology.
Adopting organic viticulture methods and a biodiversity programme:
• Organic In Conversion’ Ecocert Registration No 172913P
Water Conservation and Recycling,
• collecting rainwater for use in the winery
• installation of a recycling plant
Labour intensive hand picking, leaf plucking & green harvesting:
• minimizes machinery use and reduces the overall carbon foot print
• creates healthier, more naturally resilient vines
Bottling under screw cap:
• to preserve the freshness and natural expression of the grape
• Fully recyclable screw caps protect diminishing cork trees
• Bottling on site to minimize the need for additional transportation
and in turn continue to reduce the LEVIN carbon footprint.
