SUSTAINABLE WINE PRODUCTION

Setting new standards for sustainable growing and production is paramount. We are founder members of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain and are proud that both our vineyard and winery are accredited under the scheme (with our vineyard achieving gold in our recertification audit).

Initiatives in the vines include cover crop bio-diversity, improving soil structure as well as encouraging natural grape pests and reducing use of herbicides. In the winery, our underground cellars require no energy supply, relying instead on natural, ambient temperature control.

Responsible business

We apply conscious energy and waste practices wherever we can. We use solar energy, sensor-activated lighting systems and LED bulbs to illuminate our outdoor facilities, and we use a Bio-Bubble treatment system to process all wastewater from across the estate.

We are making great strides forward in rainwater harvesting for grey water, a simple but fundamental change which will allow more sustainable management of onsite bathrooms, vineyard spraying and washing of our machinery, as well as watering the diverse plant-life across the estate.
