In essence we practice a philosophy of balance and harmony, we apply an ecological, sustainable viticulture approach to managing all of the elements in the vineyard including the soil, water, and the canopy, to ensure that they work together to optimise the fruit quality, minimise pests and diseases and enhance the beauty of the site.
We encourage indigenous flora and insects, and only replace in the soil what the vines have extracted through using natural methods to the greatest extent possible. Our viticulture methods are labour and capital intensive.
We have drawn our inspiration from sustainable winegrowing practices and we are accredited under the Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand programme. For more information regarding Sustainable Winegrowing New Zealand refer to www.nzwine.com/swnz/
