Regenerative Viticulture at our Southern Highlands Winery
As a family-owned winery in the Southern Highlands, we believe that exceptional wine starts in the vineyard. Our approach to regenerative agriculture reflects our commitment to producing premium Australian wines while caring for the land that makes them possible.
Located just over an hour from Sydney, our Southern Highlands vineyard is shaped by cool-climate conditions, ancient soils and a farming philosophy that prioritises long-term soil health. As a boutique winery in NSW, we focus on sustainable practices that enhance biodiversity, improve vine resilience and elevate wine quality.
A key element of our regenerative vineyard management is the use of strawberry clover as a permanent cover crop between vine rows. This low-growing plant naturally fixes nitrogen into the soil, reducing the need for synthetic fertilisers while improving soil structure and microbial life. Healthier soils result in stronger vines and more expressive fruit which is essential for producing standout wines.
Strawberry clover also supports a thriving ecosystem of beneficial insects. By encouraging natural predators, such as parasitic wasps that control apple moth populations, we minimise chemical intervention and allow the vineyard to self-regulate. This balance is central to our identity as one of the sustainable wineries in New South Wales.
Our regenerative practices encourage vines to develop deep root systems, making them more drought-resistant and better equipped to handle variable seasons. These deep-rooted vines produce smaller yields of higher-quality fruit which is the foundation of our small-batch, handcrafted wines in Australia.
For visitors seeking wine tasting in the Southern Highlands, our boutique cellar door experience offers a genuine connection to the vineyard and the wines we grow. We regularly host winery events in NSW, and our vineyard is also an event venue in the Southern Highlands, offering a romantic winery setting close to Sydney.
Whether you’re planning a weekend escape, exploring the best wineries in the Southern Highlands, or looking to buy premium Australian wine direct from the winery, our focus remains the same: thoughtful farming, expressive wines and an authentic sense of place.
