The world changes and we change also,…
Technology
Many
grape growers in the world believe that the production of grape plants is done
the same way as decades ago. This is a false idea. Few human activities and very
few agricultural activities have experienced the rapid changes in technology
that grape growing production has seen in recent years.
True to its traditions, the company RICHTER INTERNATIONAL is leading the
technical progress in this field.
All efforts are made to mechanize production (mechanization of grafting
operations, of pulling out the plants, of sorting,….)and the subsequent
economies achieved are reinvested in the area of storage and sanitary controls.
Storage is made in installations equipped with fine mist. Sanitary controls are
multiplied to give to our customers the best possible guarantees as to the
sanitary status of the plants.
Traceability
We
believe it is a must to know in detail the history of the plants we sell. Every
one of our workshops has a computer system which follows step by step the stages
of our productions. All pertinent information is centralized in real time, which
means that at every moment we know the stage of production, the batches, the
origins of the rootstocks and buds utilized, and the weather conditions during
vegetation as well as the conditions of storage.
We
know practically everything about the plants we sell and we believe that this is
something that is very important for you.
Mastering
the production
Wanting to know
everything about the products we sell means of course mastering the production.
That is what we are determined to accomplish.
In this respect, we have
formed an agreement of very close cooperation with a very large French company
specialized in the production of grape plants: the
PepinierISTEs PRODUCTEURS du Comtat.
This company shares our philosophy and our commitments concerning quality.
This union is one of the very largest units of production of grape plants,
rootstock and certified buds in the world with a potential worldwide production
of more than five hundred hectares of mother plants of rootstocks and buds.
Mother plants of rootstocks
Mother plants of buds
A company size permitting
a wide offer of varieties and clones:
The volume of our sales allows us to offer our customers a very large selection
of varieties, rootstocks and clones. Every year we complete our selection with
the plantation of new mother plants of new clones or varieties.
A daily attention to the needs of our customers
Our company philosophy
is centered around our customers who can be assured that attention will be given
to their requests and questions, and that the best advice will be provided to
them.
An international renown
In many countries in the world, RICHTER is synonym to quality
grape plants. This reputation was built over decades and decades of hard work.
This is why RICHTER INTERNATIONAL exports its grape plants currently in more
than forty countries.
Logistics
and packaging
In
order to provide the best conditions for the transportation of its grape plants
over the five continents, RICHTER INTERNATIONAL selected the best transportation
lines for road, sea and air.
Special export packaging items were produced to allow long distance
transportation (up to several weeks) under the best possible conditions of
conservation.
Every region, every
viticultural country has its specificity that it must conserve
We believe that the future of viticulture is not in
standardizing the world production, every country and every region must keep its
specificity, especially in the type of wines produced. This is why, each time
that it proved necessary, we created structures in these countries with a view
to selecting the local varieties and propagating them.
Therefore, RICHTER INTERNATIONAL has its own operations over three continents
and has close cooperative ties with universities and research stations in
several great viticultural countries.
