He visited to our vineyards Altos Las Hormigas in Luján de Cuyo and in Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina. We remember his big smile was a reflection of his love and passion for natural farming. We learnt a lot from his commitment on healing the earth by understanding the soils and the environment in which the vines grow. We miss his contribution and till today we work to make his legacy live and be passed on. <br />The value of life in the soil is one of our firm beliefs. The foundation of a good wine is a healthy soil with all species and life in it, from microfauna to mycorrhiza, to create a cycle of fertility, based on self-produced compost, which does not depend on external contributions. This is the cornerstone of our farming methods, with the use of natural preparations and the avoidance of all synthesis products - especially all weed killers - the true enemies of Terroir.<br />Altos Las Hormigas WineryUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18218265872820513179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649594762950408486.post-54520785777423375682014-03-05T17:45:06.485-08:002014-03-05T17:45:06.485-08:00so sad to lose Yorkie.... when is his service.so sad to lose Yorkie.... when is his service.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649594762950408486.post-7121576149770319312014-02-12T10:55:11.296-08:002014-02-12T10:55:11.296-08:00Alan York was one of many who originally learned f...Alan York was one of many who originally learned from <a href="http://www.alan-chadwick.org" rel="nofollow">Alan Chadwick</a> at Covelo and at other locations, including UC Santa Cruz, Green Gulch, Saratoga, and Virginia.
