WE ARE SOLAR POWERED

288 square meters of solar panels provides almost 100% of the electrical needs of the winery and vineyard, (when the sun is shining, of course.) We don’t have battery packs to get us through the night, they’re too pricey. Fortunately in Lodi, the sun shines brightly most days.

The output of the system is rated at 36 kWdc. What’s that mean? Um, we’re not sure, exactly ... We make wine, we’re not electrical engineers, okay?

Installing solar power was an easy business decision, it saves money and contributes a little bit to reduction of greenhouse gases. The exact numbers of power generated and such stuff change daily, of course. You can monitor our solar system online by going to www.solrenview.com

LODI RULES!

Our estate vineyard is grown following LODI RULES for Sustainable Winegrowing. It is California’s original sustainable viticulture program. This program truly began from the ground up, with grape growers deciding it was important for the future of the Lodi region. The certification process is rigorous, based in science, voluntary, and third-party accredited and audited. LODI RULES certified growers make up an innovative community with a history and commitment to farming quality winegrapes through the implementation of viticulture practices that balance environmental, social, and economic goals. LODI RULES is designed to communicate their commitment to sustainable agriculture to wineries and the general public.
