SUSTAINABLE WINE FARMING
Owner Johnathan Grieve is pioneering a back-to-the-future approach to wine growing. By combining organic, bio-dynamic and biological farming principles, his agriculture is focused on balancing the soil by putting back into the soil fungi, bacteria and organisms that use to be there. With the soil balanced, the vine is balanced and so also the wine. Of course, no synthetic fertilizers and chemical sprays are used. The radical and pioneering philosophy behind this is to take the soil back to its pre-agriculture state and treat the vine as an indigenous plant and really a conduit for conveying the essence of the soil and terroir to the grape and into the wine. We call this approach to winemaking, Bio-LOGIC.
