As of 2021, the winery switches completely to ‘Renewable Solar Energy’. It carries out the ‘Renewable Energy’ project with great pride in the field of ‘Environmental Sustainability’, focusing on combating changing climate conditions and global warming. The winery and production complex begins to get all its energy from the sun by covering the entire winery roof with solar energy panels. Approximately 71% of the total electrical energy consumption is provided by solar panels. In this way, annually, 2174 trees are saved, 333,490 tons of carbon emissions are reduced.

Another important environmentally friendly investment of the winery is the value it attaches to Wastewater Management. The wastewater generated after processing is purified by removing the polluting elements of the water, preserving its various chemical, physical, bacteriological and ecological properties and making it harmless to nature and the environment. The purification process is carried out by chemical, physical or biological means in the treatment facility with a capacity of 100 tons/day, which includes all the processes. Processes include preliminary sedimentation pool, chemical and biological treatment units, aeration pool, final sedimentation pool, sludge dewatering (filterpress) units. As a result of treatment, wastewater is rendered suitable for the parameters of the receiving environment into which it is discharged and does not change its physical, chemical, bacteriological and ecological properties.

Lately the winery processed around 3500 ton of grape at the harvest of 2023 and 2650 ton at 2024. Suvla Wines have young premium, premium and ultra premium labels to satisfy different tastes. Around 70+ labels of whites, roses and reds are made by the winemaking team.
