Sustaining Nature, Simply


We go beyond industry standards, embracing sustainability in every aspect—from packaging and water conservation to land care and wildlife protection. We are taking practical, tangible steps to safeguard our environment for future generations.

Recycled New Zealand Glass Bottles

In an industry dominated by coal-powered glass produced in China, we have chosen to bottle our wines in New Zealand, using New Zealand-sourced, recycled glass, reducing our carbon footprint and supporting our local industry.

Sugarcane Labels

Our labels are made from sugarcane, a renewable material sourced from a byproduct of sugar production. They’re biodegradable, reducing waste, and also have a minimal environmental footprint, using less water and energy than traditional paper production.

Solar Energy

Our winery is powered by over 50 solar panels on the roof, significantly cutting down our reliance on the main energy grid. On sunny days, we even give back to the grid, sharing the excess energy we generate.

Sheep Grazing

We integrate sheep into our vineyards to manage the grass, eliminating the need for diesel-powered tractors. Their natural grazing also provides valuable fertilizer for our vines, making our wines better for the environment and a natural expression of the terroir.
