Osmosis Wines were born of an idea from Vino del Sol founder Matt Hedges, to create a line of lower alcohol wines, sustainably made from only the best quality estate grown grapes. Together with wine industry icon, Patricia Ortiz who supplies the grapes from her family’s vineyards in Argentina, they created Osmosis Sauvignon Blanc, Rose and Red Blend. The wines may be low in alcohol and calories, but they are full of taste, and made according to our philosophy to only follow sustainable practices. Patricia’s Mission Statement is “Sustainability may be defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Achieving such a goal involves three distinct pillars: Social, Economic and Environmental.”
At Osmosis we believe that water is a precious resource. All water is recycled and reused and put back into the vineyards. Our recycling program is dedicated to repurposing waste from the vineyards through sorting and processing. High quality bio compost made from the grapes skins and stalks, is produced according to the parameters of internationally standardized procedures. This compost is then used as fertilizer in the vineyards – cyclical agriculture. The winery is part of the “Restart the Cycle” campaign to recycle bottles in supermarkets with the proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital of Mendoza. Osmosis is certified in following good agricultural practices in the vineyards by GLOBAL G.A.P. and GOOD MANUFACTURING PRACTICES in the Winery. We are also a recipient of a Gold Medal at BRIT’s 2017 International Award of Excellence in Sustainable Winegrowing Competition.
