Partners in Sustainability: Robert Sinskey Vineyards

In the “Partners in Sustainability” series, we turn the spotlight on our clients, many of whom are setting new standards for social and environmental responsibility in business. All of them, of course, have made the commitment to sustainability by ensuring that their operations are aligned with their values. We invited them to speak directly to the connection between green printing and sustainability.

We continue the series with Robert Sinskey Vineyards, a certified organic and biodynamic winery.

About Robert Sinskey Vineyards

Robert Sinskey Vineyards is a dirt-to-the-dinner table producer of fine wines. RSV is CCOF-certified Organic and Demeter-certified Biodynamic in all 200 acres of vineyards.

RSV pursues purity from dirt-to-bottle and is convinced that organic and biodynamic grapes create living, vibrant and expressive wines. Luxuriously elegant wines and earth-friendly farming methods are not mutually exclusive. RSV has found that caring for the land, combined with conscientious business practices, have helped define the well-crafted wines of RSV. After 20 years, the philosophy that “Wine is not an athletic event,” still holds true to this day. The goal has always been to make “pure wines of character that pair well with cuisine.”

Robert Sinskey and Sustainability

Fine wine should not hurt your palate or the planet. Since we are an organic and biodynamic vineyard, it would be hypocritical of us not to pursue sustainability in all aspects of our business and to offset our carbon footprint where possible. The winery operation produces 70% of its energy from solar energy. The current plan provides for a remodel of the winery and operations so that more than 100% of the energy required is produced onsite and all production water will be recycled.

Printing Green

For us, there was no transition at all from traditional printing to green printing. Greenerprinter is easy to work with and the end result is beautiful. We are constantly complimented on the quality of our collateral materials.

Green Printing & Sustainability

Printing green helps us to meet our sustainability goals because it was the right thing to do. It’s hard to talk about being green when that talk is printed on non-green materials. It was one more way of closing the loop.
