Social And Sustainable Viticulture
SOLAWI
Domaine 64 was formed in 2021 as a solidarity agriculture, where the vineyard was divided into 64 shares arranged like a chessboard. Members can pick their square and participate in the eco-friendly viticulture project.
“Social and sustainable viticulture” is the slogan of this solidarity agriculture, realized with the aid organization CARITAS Luxembourg.
Ouessant sheeps are also used for grazing in these vineyards, keeping the vegetation small. The smallest breed of sheep in Europe is ideal for use in the vineyards, as they do not eat the wood and grapes. They are left in the vineyards at short intervals throughout the year. By using sheep, the CO2 footprint in organic viticulture can be kept smaller.
This pilot project is supported by the ANF (Administration de la nature et des forêts) and the Biological Station SIAS (Syndicat intercommunal à vocation multiple).
In the consulting on biological viticulture is Dr. Jörg Pauly (winemaker, BSc. org. agri.) from IBLA (Institute for Biological Agriculture and Agrarian Culture Luxembourg), as well as Max & Ben Duhr from Domaine Mme Aly Duhr & Fils from Ahn to the side. They advise us in all matters of sustainable bio viticulture, as well as the professional management of the vineyards.

Quality before quantity
The bottles are numbered by plot number. In a good year with many grapes, everyone gets more wine and in a bad year all members contribute a small part and get a little less.
The individual plots in the vineyards are marked with signs so that each member can identify with his own small wine plot.
An event is also organized for the grape harvest, where each member can bring friends and family to spend a nice day with food and drinks in the vineyards in Rëmerschen.
We also meet several times a year to see together where we are with the work in the vineyards and in the cellar.
