Viñedos Veramonte Partners with Kiss the Ground
Viñedos Veramonte, one of the top 100% organic and sustainable wineries in Chile, is pleased to announce a partnership with the non-profit organization, Kiss the Ground, to help promote Regenerative Agriculture and inform American consumers on the best practices to have a healthy ecosystem.
Kiss the Ground was created to focus efforts on healthy soils and create a symbiotic relationship with the earth. The organization promotes Regenerative Agriculture, which goes hand in hand with what Viñedos Veramonte has been doing for years. They believe in farming principles and practices that aim to increase biodiversity, enrich soils, improve watersheds and enhance ecosystem services, eventually increasing yields and higher health and vitality for farming communities.
Together with the winery’s parent company, González Byass, a producer and supplier of wine brands from several countries of origin offering organic, sustainable, and biodynamic choices, Viñedos Veramonte recognizes that the organic wine market in the U.S. is growing at a steadfast rate. González Byass began the 5+5 Caring for the planet program, a long-term sustainability initiative. This program represents the five generations of the González family who have brought the company into the 21st century and the next five generations who will continue to build upon the work that has already been done to help our planet succeed.
“A partnership with Kiss the Ground will allow us to spread the message of Regenerative Agriculture to help create a better environment for the next generations,” says Winemaker Sofía Araya of Viñedos Veramonte. “We follow organic practices in all our estates to ensure the best conditions for the development of the vine. Through cultivating healthy, living soils and maintaining a natural balance in our vineyards and winemaking process, we obtain quality grapes that express the full potential of the terroir.”
To show their commitment to the movement, Viñedos Veramonte will donate a percentage of sales to Kiss the Ground, supporting their mission. Further, the winery plans to build a community of consumers who are passionate about organic wine and Regenerative Agriculture by providing education and information. They will donate $2.00 for every person who signs up to receive emails and a guide to organic wines.
By partnering with Kiss the Ground, Viñedos Veramonte can spread the word to other wineries and consumers to reduce emissions, energy consumption, generated waste, bottle weight and increase green energy and water saving programs. Viñedos Veramonte is determined to maintain Regenerative Agriculture and generate awareness among consumers across the U.S.
