Bodega Dos Hemisferios
Three harvests per year: possible at the equator.
For a long time, it was considered impossible to grow wine in tropical regions, especially not directly on the equator. Dos Hemisferios proves the opposite.
For a long time there were only two wineries in all of Ecuador. One of them is Dos Hemisferios.
No other winery has cost us as much pioneering spirit and conviction as Dos Hemisferios. The wines convinced us so much that we took on the highs and lows of importing. As a rule, import processes are hardly worth mentioning, as goods are constantly being shipped from A to B. But in the case of Dos Hemisferios, it is different: Vioneers is de facto the first European company to import Ecuadorian wines. An absolute novelty. We cut paths through the jungle of Ecuadorian bureaucracy and crawled meter by meter through the dust of the plateau of South American serenity. The path was long and uncertain - in the end, we look back and can say: every single step was worth it.
All organic or what?
There are many definitions of what NATURAL means in winemaking. Not all winemakers are certified to treat nature responsibly. So we check for ourselves on site whether a winemaker meets our standards for treating the natural product wine.
✔ Organic, vegan, unfiltered, natural, etc.
✔ Biodiversity instead of monoculture
✔ Natural products produced at the pace of nature
Trust as the most important currency
Over 50 additives can be used in wine production, none of which have to be listed on the label. Mass-produced and cheap wines are flooding the market with artificially produced smells, appearances and tastes. The security of holding an HONEST product in your hand is therefore our top priority.
✔ 100% family wineries
✔ Personal relationship with the winemaker
✔ No influence from ratings, seals or points
Responsibility for the team in the engine room
The work in winemaking is often physically demanding and time-consuming, and not just during harvest time. Cheap workers from low-wage countries are popular. Against this background, high standards in the SOCIAL area are of fundamental importance to us.
✔ Fair wages and humane treatment
✔ Social responsibility
✔ Social commitment
"The unique climatic conditions at the equator allow up to three harvests per year - an interplay of sun, wind, Humboldt Current and earth."
Winegrowing on the Humboldt Current - a paradox makes a career.
