Vineyard

Quinta da Sapeira is a very unusual vineyard because of the way the grapes are cultivated. This vineyard uses the system called "The Integrated Production System". In order not to upset the delicate balance of nature, and only as a last resort, are the least aggressive pesticides and chemicals employed. To reduce the quantity of these unwanted chemicals, natural organic viniculture techniques also actively pursued.

While this vine is a product of the Integrated System, every effort and attention has been given to the other areas of discipline that reflect the vineyards responsibility, such as the ecology, toxicology and even economic considerations.

A natural consequence of using "friendly" pesticides that are low in toxins, is that man, as well as his environment are kept sustainable and healthy. The AVAPI (Association for Agricultural Valorisation in Integrated Production - established in 1992) assures that, the practice of good agricultural and environmental techniques are used in all its certified products.

The suitability to the higher requirements of quality, and the positive results, allows us to have the recognition of the attributes in our products and the compliance of the standards applicable by SATIVA (Independent extern company, accredited by the Portuguese Institute of Accreditation - IPAC), which led to the Certification of the wine production, Quinta da Sapeira.
