It’s hard to convey the satisfaction of walking into a vineyard where the soil and vines are humming with vitality. It’s a palpable feeling of joy and one we are becoming addicted to as we introduce more sustainable management practices and organics throughout our vineyards and wineries. You can taste it in our wines that increasingly sing of the places they were grown and made.

Our sustainability and innovation ethos filters strongly throughout our viticultural practices. We are actively
committed to grapegrowing techniques that improve the health of our vines and that of the local environment.

This extends beyond our fully owned vineyards and onto those we lease or source from - relationships that go back decades with growers in Australia and beyond.

We introduced the use of compost to improve the soil’s structure and help retain its moisture, while reducing water use and creating a thermal protection from extreme weather.

Further to composting, other techniques like mid-row and under vine mulching have been introduced, as well as the use of biodynamic preparations as fertilisers to increase organic matter and improve the liveliness in the
vineyard.

Making better choices every day:

• We recycle our crushed glass bottles in partnership with Environment Protection Authority in NSW and Victoria
• We reuse Prosecco bottles as water bottles at both venues
• We reuse our cardboard wine packaging
• We turn lights off at night
• We choose greener gifting via quality gifts items such as eco-canteens, reusable chopsticks/ straws which encourage reuse rather than contributing to landfill
• We utilise bio-degradable food packaging

Following a supply chain review, we now work with like-minded suppliers to find new and better ways to improve our practices at every level. We are choosing a lighter footprint for our packaging, dry goods, cartons and merchandise.
