The Land

The soil at our place is up to 1,600,000,000 years old so we look after it and the whole environment in which the vineyard sits.

Just a few examples of how we care for our vineyard; using sheep to eat weeds and turn them into fertiliser, applying a tea made of seaweed and manures, use of predatory insects to eat pests and friendly fungi to destroy unfriendly rots. We also compost all of our leftovers (marc) each year and return the goodness to the vineyard.​

All this takes a bit of work, but we think its worth it. 

  • All our wines are vegan friendly.

  • The winery, cellar door & warehouse are fitted with solar panels.

  • We choose compostable when possible. Compost is then put to good use in the vineyard.

  • All of the water we use is captured rainwater.

  • We reuse or repurpose when possible and recycle otherwise.

  • We make sustainable and environmentally conscious decisions whenever possible.

  • Insects are vital members of our team; biodiversity is essential in the vineyard.

  • Our waterways are surrounded by natives that attract insects and wildlife.

  • We plant cover crops to outcompete weeds, aerate the soil and plough them back in to enrich the soil.

  • Our wines have minimal inputs.
