As a trailblazer in sustainability, Chamisal Vineyards has been SIP (Sustainability in Practice) certified since 2010, and in 2016, become the second-ever SIP certified winery. Chamisal Vineyards also maintains its commitment to innovation in winemaking, including multiple systems for reducing water usage and the utilization of cover crops to increase biodiversity.
