Welcome to our Christmas newsletter for 2008.
Vintage was early again this year with the first Semillon picked on the 5th of February and our last variety Cabernet Sauvignon on the 20th March.
Elio was again extremely happy with the quality of the fruit. This has a lot to do with our farming practices. Sustainable viticulture practices maintain vineyard health and soil nutrition.
…”Good wine starts with the soil” … just ask Elio.
Australian Old Vine Wine have been producing "Clean Green" quality Australian wine grapes of the highest standard for over 20 years. Our philosophy is that sustainable viticulture practices maintain vineyard health and soil nutrition. Using a combination of minimal watering, mulching and the use of organic fertilizer and organic sprays to achieve this.
Mulching of the natural
grasses that grows between the vines break down and creates natural organic
matter that encourages earthworms.This
is beneficial as earthworm castings aid in the moving of nutrients from
deep in the soil to the root-zone where the vines have access to them.
Mulch insulates the ground from the suns rays and aids in the retention
of moisture.To lower our carbon footprint at harvest time, we hand pick
our grapes.
This method is kind both to the environment and our vines. We firmly believe
that our eco-friendly practices allow the low yielding old vines to produce
fruit with intense varietal flavours.
We are proud to announce that
Australian
Old Vine Wine has
been awarded, best vineyard in the
2008 Awards
We
are also now members of the
Australian Made Campaign.
