Key Insight: Clos du Val's pump is underpowered. Prior to using Lumo, it was impossible to get all acres adequately watered ahead of and during heat events. Using Lumo allows CDV to eliminate labor constraints and irrigate around the clock. Better mitigating the effects of heatwaves during critical parts of the growing season has had a large and undeniable impact on yield. With premium wine grape values, this yield improvement delivers exceptional financial returns.
