Concerning news about severe frost damage in vines in France and vineyards lighting bougies in the UK. The decisions on when/how to take action against frosts are tricky. We have another month of frost risk. If we use up our bougies now, what later? And they cost £8.00+ each!

Has anyone seen any analysis of #carbonfootprint of different #frost mitigation strategies for vines? As we ramp up our frost defence strategy in the light of increasing risk, I want to minimise impact on our carbon emissions. #carbonneutral #sustainablewine #carbonneutralwine

Today every alternate alley was cultivated, drilled & rolled, planting a special seed mix to naturally improve soil organic matter & structure so reducing need for fertilser inputs. Another step on our journey to carbon negative wines. Thankyou S J BARNES LIMITED for a great job!

As a vineyard owner I'm acutely aware of the impact of global CO2 levels on our climate. Lets all hope #COP26 really can achieve something. We are looking at every way we can reduce our #carbonfootprint as a winery. #sustainablewine

Getting to Carbon Neutral wines is going to be tricky until we can find an answer to the glass bottle issue! My latest blog pulls together some numbers to illustrate this. albourneestate.co.uk/how-do-we-get-… Farm Carbon Toolkit #zeroCarbon

Lots of talk about 'energy' at #COP26. We are pleased to be 100% renewables at the Winery through our own #Solar generation and purchasing from Good Energy when the sun doesn't shine. We generate far more than we need so we also export #renewableenergy to others.
