WineProtect is a 100% French family-run business, conceived and developed in Ludon-Médoc, Gironde. The start-up's answer to a simple question: how can we mitigate the spring frosts affecting wine-growing areas in an environmentally-friendly and sustainable way?

Over the coming decades, spring frosts will occur more frequently and for longer periods, mainly during the month of April.
