We have been growing the fruit and producing the wine with an underlying philosophy of sustainability for some years and are proud to see the results shine through the wines we sell to the public.

The last 6 years, accompanying drought and threat of climate change has consolidated this approach to farming.

We have undertaken to farm sustainable native pastures while aiming to set aside 30% of the farm for ecological restoration.

Up to 10 % of the retail price of every bottle of wine you buy is committed to ecological restoration projects.

3 major projects are under way or completed:

Fencing of erosion areas-a large, naturally saline area, has been fenced off and protected from further degradation We expect to have fully stabilised and revegetated this area within another 3 years; controlling an erosion problem that has been in place for over 60 years.......

Riparian corridor. As we restore the pastures on the rest of the farm we have been able to commit to fencing off 2 km of double river frontage and over 60 acres of flood plain. This is an important step in preserving water quality in the river.

Cell grazing- re-fencing into smaller paddocks allow us to graze smaller areas and then rest; them keeping grass diversity and groundcover.Dams have been fenced off from stock , not from wildlife, and wildlife corridors introduced.

Grant contributions from the Central West Catchment management authority have assisted us in carrying out all of the above.

We have formed major alliances with organizations such as STIPA, the Soil food web, the Carbon Coalition and are a Government greenhouse challenge partner
