Regenerative Viticulture
Feeding the soil to feed the vine.
At Rimapere, we go beyond organic. For over five years, our vineyard has embraced regenerative and organic practices, with a deep respect for soil health and biodiversity.
Regenerative viticulture is about restoring the vineyard’s natural balance — rebuilding soil vitality, encouraging biodiversity, and creating a resilient, self-sustaining ecosystem. To achieve this, we sow diverse cover crops throughout the year to nourish the soil, stimulate microbial life, and strengthen its structure. These practices enrich organic matter, improve moisture retention, and help capture carbon naturally.
Our ambition is clear: to grow resilient vines that will thrive for decades and express the purest character of their terroir. Every decision is deliberate — we use only organic products, applied with precision and care, and only when truly needed.

Our Philosophy
Certified organic viticulture
At Rimapere, organic farming is not a trend — it’s a commitment. After several years of transition, our vineyard is now certified by BioGro, New Zealand’s leading organic standard, and Ecocert for international recognition.
This means no synthetic chemicals, no herbicides, and 100% organic practices across the estate. We rely on mechanical soil management, natural canopy treatments, and cover crops to nourish the land and maintain its vitality.
Our goal is simple: to craft exceptional grapes while respecting nature’s balance and preserving the land for future generations.

Viticulture with precision
At Rimapere, technology works hand in hand with nature. Our precision viticulture approach relies on accurate data to tailor every intervention to the specific needs of each plot, each vine, and each season.
We use soil moisture sensors to fine-tune irrigation, weather stations to monitor local conditions in real time, and canopy tracking to support natural growth. This approach helps us reduce inputs, optimize soil nutrition, and conserve water resources.
The goal: to ensure outstanding grape quality while respecting nature’s balance and the long-term sustainability of our vineyard.
