Our vines are certified organic & Biodynamic by ACO.
They are watered from our dam which holds chemical free, clean rain water. The dam is home to dozens of ducks and other water birds, who also add to the ecosystem of the dam and surrounding area.
The property is a return Soldiers block that was held in Three Generations until Phil purchased it in 2014.
Originally there were 18 acres of Vines but phil has planted new Vines that now total approx 36 acres, new Varieties include Shiraz, Grenache, Fiano, Arinto, Mataro and Nero.
We preserve hollow trees on the property to encourage bees to build their hives and pollinate the flora in the area.
The open water troughs we keep for our livestock are a permanent source of water for the bees and other native animals.
Wild grasses which grow amongst the vines are slashed during summer to create green fertiliser.
We work with nature rather than against it to boost the vineyards biodiversity. Our goal is to create a vineyard which is a self-regulating, natural ecosystem and our practices are foccussed on achieving this.
Our vines grow on ancient soil which is approximately 75 million years old. Our vines are hand pruned to reduce the risk of diseases and increase the quality of the fruit.
Our fruit is chemical free with minimal additives, and coupled with the ancient soils the vines grow in, adds to the terroir which influences the quality and taste of our wine.
The benefit of organic wine means there are no chemical residues from insecticides and other synthetic chemicals.
Our organic viticulture practices and use of minimal water results in lower fruit yields, but the flavours are more intense and fruit quality is far higher.
