Sustainability

Overcorrecting is the downward spiral of conventional farming, according to the winemaker for Misty Morning Winery, a small premium producer in the Napa Valley. Acquired by a French entrepreneur a few decades ago, Misty Morning produces Bordeaux varietals while keeping a focus on sustainability. The winery is part of a large foundation where profitability and growth for the winery are not concerns. The owners “do not need the money”; however, they are interested in the sustainability of the property due to its sentimental value and purpose. Misty Morning is dedicated to environmental stewardship and philanthropy. They adopted organic and biodynamic farming practices for the estate grapes that comprise 100 percent of their supply, and all of the proceeds from wine sales go to the foundation to support research.
