What does it mean to be a regenerative vineyard?
At Oakencroft, we view the vineyard as part of a larger ecosystem. Rather than focusing solely on the vine, we care for the natural processes that support its full expression. We grow hybrid varieties well-suited to Virginia’s climate, use compost to enrich soil health, and integrate livestock for natural pest control and nutrient cycling. We add biodiversity in the rows between the vines with a 19-species seed mix. Careful canopy management also plays a role in vine health. By nurturing the whole system, we reduce the need for synthetic inputs and produce fresh, approachable wines—all guided by the principles of regenerative agriculture.
