SUSTAINABILITY

We make wines that respect our land

At EL GRIFO, every bottle reflects our commitment to excellence and the environment.

We don't just cultivate vineyards, we cultivate values: respect for the land, excellence in winemaking and responsibility towards the economic and wine-growing fabric of Lanzarote.

From the volcanic soils to the glass our customers enjoy, we work with a sustainable vision that unites quality, social commitment and environmental management to preserve what really matters: the future.

COMMITMENT TO OUR VITICULTURISTS

Our winery supports winegrowers, assisting them in the care of their crops: managing procedures and documentation (including relations with the Regulatory Council), digital field notebook (like that of the supplier Kaampo), key to registering agricultural activities and complying with food safety regulations, traceability, use of plant protection products and environmental protection.

We provide advice on converting to organic production , and technical alerts to prevent risks or diseases in vineyards.

We understand that viticulture is cultivated not only in the soil, but also in human relationships. That's why we maintain a firm commitment to the winegrowers who help us pursue excellence in all our products.

What does this commitment translate into?

  • Continuing education : we organize technical workshops and training sessions adapted to the reality of the Lanzarote countryside, from organic farming to the management of the digital field notebook.

  • Regular meetings : We hold regular meetings to share useful information about campaigns, regulations, aid, or relevant technical changes.

  • Personalized support and advice : we answer questions, propose improvements, and provide direct support for any agronomic or administrative need.

  • Accessibility and closeness : our technical and administrative teams are available throughout the year to listen, guide and build together a stronger, more professional and sustainable viticulture.

At EL GRIFO, the winegrower is an active part of our project, our history and our future.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The circular economy is not limited to recycling or reusing materials; it encompasses a whole model of sustainable production and consumption that seeks to:

  • Reduce the use of finite resources
  • Minimize waste
  • Regenerate natural systems

From this perspective, we work on 3 pillars:

1. CLEAN ENERGY : Generating 90% of energy with solar panels reduces dependence on fossil (non-renewable) sources and decreases polluting emissions.

2. CO₂ RECOVERY (Oresteo): the recovery of carbon dioxide generated during alcoholic fermentation, a gas that is a natural part of the winemaking process.

Thanks to the Oresteo system, we capture this carbon dioxide at the moment it is produced and store it temporarily for later use in tasks specific to the winery.

What do we achieve with this system?

  • We avoid the direct and immediate release of CO₂ into the atmosphere, reducing the environmental impact during the most active phases of fermentation.
  • We take advantage of that CO₂ as a useful resource, for example, in inertization processes, which improves the overall efficiency of the work in the warehouse.
  • Although its eventual release is inevitable, this approach allows for a more responsible and conscious management of the carbon cycle in the winery.

3. VERMICOMPOSTING: All the plant remains generated by our activity, pruning vines, leaves, fruit tree pruning remains, dried pomace, are transformed by vermicomposting, a natural process in which composting worms slowly degrade these residues and turn them into a high quality biological fertilizer.

The result is a compost rich in microbial life, which we apply in three ways depending on the needs of the soil:

  • In solid form, incorporated directly into the vineyard.
  • As a compost extract, to enrich the soil more quickly.
  • In the form of compost tea, a microbiological infusion that improves soil health and the ability of plants to resist disease.

The goal is to restore to the soil the resources it provides us, avoiding the use of chemicals and waste, and promoting a regenerative farming model.

At EL GRIFO we are committed to improving the health of our soils and ensuring a sustainable agricultural legacy.
