FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

WHAT THE SCIENCE PROVES

It's catchy to claim all the credentials...
'We're 'Carbon Neutral'
'We're sustainable'
'We're organic'

But we are not in it for the plaudits, we are in it for what the science proves. 

Climate change is happening, ask anyone in Wine, and we all need to do our part.

FWIW, we are undertaking certification with Sustainable WInegrowing Australia. An incredibly comprehensive programme the requires independent audit against the Australian Wine Industry Standards of Sustainable Practice.

A multi-year commitment, we anticipate completing full certification in 2025.

RENEWABLE ENERGY

At our property, 44kw of Solar capacity drives our renewable energy programme.

Solar energy powers our Tasting Room and our farm operations.
Vineyard irrigation pumps, bore pumps and cool rooms with capacity left to feed back to the grid, or held in supplement within our battery storage.

Sharing the love

ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING

Four type 2 compatible charging stations provide additional convenience to our guests with EV's.
Directly connected to our rooftop solar, supply, making it green energy going into those vehicles.

WHAT ABOUT WATER?

Another area where the destruction of a bushfire provides opportunity.

Through the major rebuild phase of 2020-2023 we took major steps to reduce water usage and waste.

A state-of-the-art irrigation system has decreased energy consumption and increased water use efficiency for vineyard irrigation. We estimate annual reductions of 50% in energy demand and 33% reduction in water use.

WATER SECURITY

Soil testing and monitoring given us the information needed to understand where and how to support soil biology.

The application of organic soil conditioners increases water holding capacity, resulting in less need for irrigation application.

158,000L of rainwater storage allows us to harvest and hold rainwater for use around the property.

This supports the conservation of critical underground aquifers.
