Sustainability
Since 1996, Malivoire Winery has long been at the forefront of the Ontario wine industry, blazing a trail as pioneer and leader in sustainable viticulture. From being the first to implement gravity flow methods and among the first to achieve certification under Ontario’s Sustainable Winemaking Program, our journey has been defined by a steadfast commitment to innovation and stewardship of the land. We sustainably produce the best Gamay in Canada and aspire to produce some of the best Gamay in the world. As we continue to forge ahead on this path, we are not only crafting exceptional wines but also nurturing a sustainable legacy in the heart of Ontario.
“The decisions we make today, take into consideration our long-term impact in the years and decades to come. Our goal is to leave the land in better condition than when we started.
– Shiraz Mottiar, Team Principal & GM

WHAT SUSTAINABILITY MEANS TO US:
As long as anyone can remember, Martin Malivoire has proclaimed the importance of the "three-legged stool". It's his favourite metaphor for a viable winery, based on the premise that for long-term success a winery must be equally sustainable on three key considerations. Our winery was founded on our “Three P” (Planet, People, Prosperity) principles and if they're not in balance, the stool falls over.
- We employ cutting-edge sustainable farming practices, minimizing our ecological footprint.
- Our winery focuses on energy efficiency, waste reduction, and water conservation.
- Biodiversity preservation is at the heart of our vineyard management, ensuring a thriving ecosystem.
- We actively engage with local communities, including our retail consumers and licensees, to understand their needs and concerns
