“Our team is honoured to contribute to a global initiative that endeavours to enhance the appreciation for wine tourism,” says Matetic Winery’s Sales and Marketing Manager, Carlos Ocampo. “The distinction of receiving the 2023 global award for Sustainable Wine Tourism Practices resonates with our core principles. We eagerly anticipate future opportunities to engage with the public and continue endorsing the positive evolution of this burgeoning industry globally.”
Beginning with its viticultural practices, Matetic Winery employs an organic and biodynamic approach, eschewing synthetic chemicals for natural alternatives. This enhances the health and resilience of the vineyard’s ecosystem, playing a pivotal role in the production of their quality wines.
But Matetic’s sustainability practices extend beyond the vineyard. The Chilean winery, designed with environmental harmony in mind, uses materials that respect the natural surroundings. Energy-saving measures have been incorporated into the design, reflecting the winery’s philosophy of sustainable wine production.
Ocampo says: “We believe that producing quality wine and at the same time showcasing an environmentally responsible and educational tourism are this industry’s way of showing we are fully committed to sustainability”.
At Matetic Winery, visitors are invited to experience first-hand the winery’s exceptional wines. A newly introduced tour offers an educational exploration of sustainable viticulture and winemaking. Guests will gain insights into the interaction between the vineyard’s terroir and grapevines, learn about their meticulous grape selection process, and understand how each bottle of wine is a testament to Matetic’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
In an era increasingly aware of human activities’ impact on the environment, Matetic Winery stands as a shining example of sustainable practices. Their organic and biodynamic winemaking produces exceptional wines and paves the way for a more sustainable future for the wine industry. Through their educational tours, they share their knowledge and passion, inspiring a new generation of wine lovers to adopt sustainable practices.
