Sustainability is a priority in our vineyards and winery. Some of our current practices include:

• Rainwater tanks to collect water, this is the only water we use at our winery
• Solar panels at the winery power our daily operations
• At our Smeaton vineyard we are off-grid and use solar powered irrigation  
• Minimal use of harsh chemicals such as caustic soda
• Minimal tractor passes in the vineyard, to reduce emissions and maintain better soil health and structure
• We use Environmentally low impact sprays on our vineyard
• Regenerative practices at Smeaton to improve soil and biodiversity, including cover crops sown between rows, planting windbreaks, revegetation throughout the property

We are working towards:

• Replacing diesel vehicles with electric or hybrid models as they become available (forklifts, tractors, utility vehicles)
• Gaining certification with Sustainable Winegrowing Australia
