war but because of global warming”MIGUEL TORRES

“He has installed solar panels on the roof of a new winery, invested in a wind park

and committed his company to cut the carbon footprint of his wine 30% per

bottle by 2020”

“We’re buying land even higher, in areas that are still too cold to plant”

The more we care for the earth,

The better our wine.
