Rossignol Winery refrains from using pesticides, operating as an ecologically friendly vineyard in strip-crop fashion. Their grapes are grown with ample green space between the rows and with the nearby Northumberland Strait, a fresh breeze is never too far away. These two things help the vineyard to stay fungus-free.
