    Apu Winery- Officially Accepted by CERVIM

    Updated: May 22, 2021



    Apu Winery was officially accepted as a member of CERVIM, the Centre for Research, Environmental Sustainability and Advancement of Mountain Viticulture. CERVIM is an international organization that promotes and protects heroic viticulture, which is defined as:

    Vineyard sites at altitudes over 500 meters (1600 feet)

    Vines planted on slopes greater than 30%

    Vines planted on terraces or embankments

    Vines planted on small islands in difficult growing conditions


    While vineyards only need to meet one of the requirements to be considered a heroic vineyard, we meet three. Our vineyards reach 3,300 meters/10,827 ft. (the highest in the world), the slopes of our steep hillside are more than 40% and we use a terracing system to plant in these difficult conditions.


    What is more important for us about being a heroic vineyard is the economic impact of growing grapes in this area of Peru. For more information, please read the following post:
