Part one of our series, ‘The graft behind the grapes’, where we share what really goes into growing our biodynamic vines and making our first organic wine, expected in spring 2027.
We’ll share the highs, the lows, and the less glamorous jobs along the way.
To help our young vines thrive, we manage the plants growing beneath them by strimming and mowing to reduce competition for water and nutrients while supporting long-term soil health.
In winter, we hand over to our alpacas, who graze the vegetation between the rows.
As the cut vegetation breaks down, it returns organic matter to the soil. Combined with minimal soil disturbance, this helps create the conditions for a healthy and active soil ecosystem beneath the vines.
As the vineyard matures, we’ll gradually mow less and encourage more biodiversity between the rows. For now, the focus is on helping these young vines establish strong roots and a healthy future.
