Jaén, 14 March 2023

On 14 April, organised by the International Institute of Wine and Vine, a conference on Organic Viticulture, its opportunities and agronomic solutions was held at the headquarters of the Regulatory Council of the Jerez-Xêres-Sherry and Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda DOOs .
A large representation of technicians from wineries, cooperatives, winegrowers, as well as representatives from the UCA and IFAPA were present.

The presentations were given by Ms. Auxiliadora Vecina, Innovation Director of ECOVALIA and Mr. Joaquín Romero, Head of Scientific Development of ECONATUR. ECOVALIA presented the situation of organic viticulture in the different territorial areas, as well as the opportunities for organic viticulture in the Jerez and Sanlúcar DOs, highlighting the growth in the last seven years.

ECONATUR explained the development and experimentation work carried out to offer organic viticulture managers biostimulation, nutrition and biocontrol solutions with certified products, as well as the company’s commitment to sustainability. Finally, a round table discussion was held with technical managers and winegrowers from the region and from other areas, in this case Mr. Francisco Robles, manager of Bodegas Robles of the Montilla-Moriles DO. César Saldaña, President of the Regulatory Council of the DO Jerez-Xêres-Sherry and Manzanilla de Sanlúcar DOs, closed the event, highlighting the important and irreversible evolution of Organic Viticulture, and referring to the singularities of the wine production and ageing systems in our region.
