Lotic’s Commitment to Sustainability
In our efforts to support healthy waterways through our wine, we are equally committed to ensuring that our production processes support a healthy environment, both ecologically and socially. To achieve this, all Lotic Wine is crafted in accordance with Lodi Rules for Sustainability, America’s original sustainable winegrowing program.
Our commitment to sustainable practices not only enhances the quality of our wine but also protects the environment and supports the local community. By following these guidelines, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve water, and foster biodiversity, while also producing wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Lodi region.
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations, and we carry this through from the land to your glass. We’re committed to making every sip count!
LODI RULES of Sustainability
America’s Original Sustainable Winegrowing Program
Welcome to a world where exceptional wine meets a commitment to sustainability. At Lotic Wine, we’re proud to align with the Lodi Rules Sustainable Winemaking Program—an initiative that sets the gold standard for sustainability in viticulture. Here’s how we achieve excellence while nurturing the earth.
Key Principles of LODI RULES
Water Conservation
Water is a precious resource, and at Lotic Wine, we take its conservation seriously. The Lodi Rules program emphasizes efficient water management practices that ensure vineyards thrive without depleting natural reserves. By choosing Lotic Wine, you support responsible water use and a brighter future for our planet.
Protecting the Ecosystem
Our approach to winemaking goes beyond the bottle. We view the vineyards as part of a larger ecosystem, which is why we choose winegrowers who focus on biodiversity and habitat preservation. With careful vineyard planning, they maintain a balanced ecosystem that supports wildlife and enriches the land.
Caring for People
People are at the heart of Lotic Wine. Lodi Rules ensures fair labor practices and a safe working environment, valuing the well-being of everyone involved in our winemaking process.
Nurturing the Soil
Healthy soil is the foundation of great wine. Through the Lodi Rules, our partners employ techniques that preserve soil integrity and fertility, allowing their vineyards to produce high-quality grapes. The commitment to sustainable soil management results in grapes that are not only delicious but also environmentally friendly.
Innovative Pest Management
Lotic Wine partners take a proactive approach to pest management by using natural methods to protect their vines. The Lodi Rules guide them in implementing strategies that minimize chemical use, ensuring their vineyards remain a safe and healthy environment for all.
Generational Farming
At Lotic Wine, we believe in the power of generational farming. The Lodi Rules program supports family-run vineyards and encourages practices that will sustain future generations. By choosing our wines, you're helping preserve a legacy of responsible farming and quality winemaking.
Uncompromised Quality
Quality is never compromised in our pursuit of sustainability. Our adherence to the Lodi Rules means that every grape going into a bottle of Lotic Wine represents the pinnacle of craftsmanship and care.
Lotic Wine Bottle
Sustainability isn’t just about what happens in the vineyard. To continue our commitment, Lotic Wine is bottled in lightweight glass made in the USA and sealed with an environmentally friendly metal capsule. Not only does this reduce the need to obtain bark from trees, but it also creates a better closure for the wine to ensure its quality.
