The Organic Certification comes on the heels of HALL St. Helena's Gold LEED® Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in July 2009, which made HALL Wines a pioneer in the use of green buildings in the wine industry.
"One of the greatest benefits to practicing organic farming methods is that we spend more time in the vineyard," said Don Munk, Director of Vineyard Operations at HALL Wines. "This allows us to really pay attention to what is happening naturally. Organic farming utilizes preventive methods as opposed to corrective activities, allowing HALL to create a healthier soil for our vineyards which, in return, increases the longevity of the vines and the overall health of the land."
HALL Wines' dedication to the environment is impressive, covering 55 acres owned by the HALL's have been certified organic, with more to come later this year. The company is ever evolving and becoming greener in all aspects of their winemaking and farming, while remaining dedicated to the art of handcrafted winemaking.
