What we mean by conventional viticulture
Synthetic pesticides and herbicides are used to control pests and weeds. These chemicals can contribute to tighter disease control and ensure plant health.
It tends to focus on maximizing yields and grape production. This may involve practices such as intensive pruning, mechanical harvesting, and vine selection that maximizes the number of grapes harvested per hectare.
Oenological additives, such as selected yeasts, enzymes and fining agents, can be used to standardize the winemaking process and improve the clarity and stability of the wine.
