By eschewing synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, Retzlaff ensures that their wines reflect the purest expression of their terroir while minimizing harm to the ecosystem. Their organic vineyard was planted on the site of a former sheep ranch and as a result, the soil had never been farmed. No pesticides or herbicides have ever been used on the land so the soil is healthy and alive.<\/p>\n<p>Founder, Robert Taylor is a Ph.D. geochemist with an understanding of how harmful certain chemicals can be to our environment and our health.

The estate\u2019s longevity can be directly traced to the Wente family\u2019s multi-generational commitment to the land. Wente is a certified sustainable vineyard and winery from the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CCSW). Fewer than ten percent of wineries hold both the vineyard and winery certifications, and Wente is proud to be counted among them. Today, with the help of the forward-looking fifth generation, the family remains a leader in ethical practices and continues to push the envelope in defining how sustainability is measured. Eco-minded fifth-generation winegrowers Karl and Niki Wente have recently upgraded the Wente Vineyards winery, vineyard, and tasting rooms to meet (and exceed) their CCSW-inspired goals.<\/p>\n<p>We continue to be proud of the sustainability practices that take place in the Livermore Valley and the commitment to preserving the beautiful place we call home.<\/p>\n<p>Celebrate Earth Day with Concannon this year!
