Sustainabilty

An important way of honouring our heritage is to bring back traditional farming practices where viable. And then we combine them with new agricultural technology. We find that with ongoing trial and practice and the application of detailed precision tools, we can measure and manage with greater accuracy. All in the interests of making great wines that are in balance with and a reflection of our terroir.

We call it a progressive, adaptive approach - another way of saying that we always try to farm with, rather than against nature. And it has earned us WWF Conservation Championship status for our “exceptional commitment to the collective conservation of threatened habitat in the Succulent Karoo and Cape Floral Kingdom as well as outstanding dedication to environmentally responsible farming practices.”

A big focus here is regenerative farming with mixed crops, animals and even insects. Building soil health and life and promoting biodiversity makes us more climate resilient and eco-sustainable and allows us to maximise the advantages of our location while minimising our reliance on chemical inputs.
