International Certification Regenerative Viticulture Alliance

The family winery founded in Vilafranca del Penedès in 1870 traces its winegrowing roots back to the 16th century. It has vineyards and wineries in Penedès, Priorat, Conca de Barberà, and Costers del Segre; in Ribera del Duero, Rioja, Rueda, and Rías Baixas, as well as in Chile and California. “The more we care for the earth, the better our wine” has been the family motto for generations, reflecting the deep respect with which the winery works the land. In 2008, Familia Torres strengthened its environmental commitment to adapt to climate change and help mitigate its effects by reducing the winery’s carbon emissions. The fifth generation – represented by Miguel and Mireia Torres – is driving the transformation of the family's organic vineyards towards a regenerative management model, convinced that this is the only approach that can help stop climate change while restoring natural soil fertility, preventing erosion, and fostering biodiversity. Familia Torres is also a founding member of the association International Wineries for Climate Action, which strives to decarbonize the wine industry on a global level.

The family-owned Penedès winery was founded in 1963 by Jean Leon (born Ceferino Carrión in Cantabria), a visionary man who realized his two biggest dreams: opening the most luxurious restaurant in Hollywood and creating an exclusive wine to delight his select clientele. Owned by Familia Torres since 1994, and with Mireia Torres at the helm since 2010, the winery was the first to receive the Vi de Finca, or single vineyard, designation in Penedés for four of its wines, the highest distinction the Catalan government bestows on a wine. The winery owns 65 hectares of vineyards, and all of its wines have been certified organic since the 2012 vintage. Jean Leon is currently working on several research projects related to sustainability and biodiversity in the vineyard.

The iconic Priorat winery was founded in 1979 by René Barbier and his wife, Isabelle Meyer. They were part of what is now known as the Priorat revolution when they joined other winemakers in releasing their first joint vintage in 1989, thus catapulting this secluded region in the province of Tarragona to international fame. Clos Mogador springs from the knowledge of several generations that have understood – and continue to understand – how to enjoy the natural environment at its purest. For them, the expression of the terroir is everything, which means keeping the vineyards full of life and allowing for a natural balance through regenerative and biodynamic agriculture and good biodiversity. This is why Clos Mogador alternates 100-year-old vineyards with others that are 20 or 12 years old, even recently planted vines with olive groves, fruit trees, and aromatic herbs, where all sorts of insects and species co-exist. In short, it is about creating a natural ecosystem that is good for the earth, the plants, and the wine.

The Lafage family has been dedicated to viticulture for more than 2 centuries. His winery is located in the heart of Roussillon, in the south of France, in a 15th-century Masía Catalana built in stone. Currently, they have more than 350 hectares of vineyards, which extend from the shores of the Mediterranean in Canet-en-Roussillon, to the Pyrenean foothills of Aspres, passing through Maury. At the hands of Jean Marc and Eliane Lafage, the winery's mission is to show and value the most beautiful plots of Roussillon, and create wines that reflect the typicality of this territory, as well as pay homage to the magnificent vineyards that nature and their ancestors left them.

In 2019 Stephen and Jeany Cronk sold their home in London and moved with their three children to Provence where he and they founded Maison Mirabeau which is now an internationally recognised rosé wine brand. Ten years later in 2019 they acquired a 20-hectare estate near La Garde Freinet in the Côtes de Provence appellation. The soil, having been conventionally farmed for the previous 25 years, resembled a moon landscape and the couple decided to bring the estate back to life. Converting to organic farming wasn't going to provide enough of a framework for rebuilding soil organic matter and so they looked into regenerative agriculture and the path was set to convert their piece of land back to its natural glory and invite life back into its soils. This is steadily being undertaken with the guidance and support of regenerative viticulture pioneers. Stephen is one of the founders of the Regenerative Viticulture Foundation, a UK based non-profit that aims to support wine producers around the world as they transition towards regenerative farming.
