Spanish-language interview at Wilson Creek Winery & Vineyards where vineyard manager Greg Penny Royal and consultant John Kempf describe transitioning from conventional to regenerative viticulture. They report extremely low initial soil organic matter (<0.25%), applied large quantities of green matter (60–80k lb) and compost (to an estimated ~15 lb compost/acre), changed tillage/ripping practices, and adopted AEA-backed regenerative protocols. They emphasize improved water retention, reduced erosion, biweekly sap testing, clearer nutrient balance (identifying excesses as well as deficiencies), reduced pest problems, and a shift from firefighting to optimizing vine nutrition and terroir expression.
