At Jordan Winery, decreasing our impact on the environment has remained a guiding focus for decades. PG&E's ClimateSmartTM program certified our energy usage carbon neutral in 2009, and Jordan has decreased its carbon footprint by 24 percent since 2006. Converting to solar power has been our latest project, after years of research to determine the best course of action we have begun the process. Installing solar panels over several acres of our property that will account for 75 percent of our energy needs. In this video we have captured one step of many, in creating a social conscious, energy efficient and solar-powered winery. We understand that what is best for the earth is ultimately best for our wines. We strive to honor in the bottle what nature so beautifully displays through the soil, the climate and the vine. With sustainable practices at the heart of our business, we hope to carry on this expression of responsibility to the environment so that the enjoyment of our wines continues for generations to come.
