Reyneke Wine
The Reyneke vineyards are
herbicide, pesticide and
fungicide free. Just like any
organic vineyard should be.
Instead of spraying weeds
with poison, we carefully
select and grow companion
plants amongst our vines to
outcompete the weeds. These
companion plants have the
ability to fix nitrogen from the
atmosphere, help break up
compacted soil or even
harbour a beneficial insect or
two.
While all sorts of poisons are
usually used to combat pests,
we simply release their
natural predators, like ducks
– there’s nothing more
delicious for a duck than a
good, juicy snail.
No poison leaching into the
grapes. No expensive
fertiliser because the ducks
do that for us. Everyone’s
happy.
The Reyneke farm is
independently certified, which
honestly and transparently
says that we’re practicing
what we preach.
By allowing Dandelion ‘weeds’
to grow, we ensure that the
measly Mealybug lives on its
roots rather than the vines.
Instead of using systemic
fungicides we use very limited
amounts of natural fungicides
like copper and sulphur.
And we’re even trying to do
away with these natural
fungicides. It’s early days yet
but we’re trying to replace
them entirely and only apply
biological controls like
trichoderma and metabolite.
With these basics right, it’s
only natural to take organics
to the next level. We add
specific biodynamic
preparations to our compost
and apply directly to our
vineyards.
These preparations consist of
specially formulated herbal,
mineral and organic
substances that enhance the
soil, and simultaneously boost
plant and animal life. Some
we use in field sprays and
others we apply in
homeopathic quantities to our
compost heaps.
Planting, pruning, harvesting
and general vineyard
practices all happen at
nature’s pace too. We work
with natural and cosmic
cycles, rhythms and forces
that regulate all life on earth
to create a harmonious
whole.
So basically, like olden times,
we work to the moon and
study the constellations as
they move, rather than digital
displays. |
