Management of the Estate is environmentally responsible. Sustainability is not an end point, but a challenge to embed sustainable principles into the culture of the Estate:
- Compost is made on site using vintage grape must, chicken manure, hay bales and sawdust
- 150KW of solar infrastructure supporting electric vineyard equipment, winery heating/cooling & local power usage
- 500 Merino, Poll Dorset & Border Leicester sheep roam the vineyards from May - September which limits tractor passes by 90%
- Due to the proximity to Pittwater the entire Estate is frost free meaning no water is wasted during Spring to prevent frosts
- Prunings are recycled and spread under the vines over a 12-month period
- Over 250 Domestic fowls, geese, guinea fowl and bobtail quail roam the vineyard, turn soil during foraging, target pests & add manure
- 90% of the vineyard is herbicide free due to the practice of undervine cultivation
- Recycled Water usage on paddocks, tree lines & selected vineyard blocks
- Over 5 h/a of native and introduced plant species increase biodiversity and attract native bird life that feed on insect pests
- Double Glazed Windows throughout Winery, minimizing the need for artificial lighting throughout the day.
