The vines are nurtured under a careful regime of hand pruning, picking along with natural pest management resulting in quality fruit and wines produced with sustainability at the philosophical forefront. The property is well fenced deterring rabbits and wallabies with the purpose installed electric fence to protect the abundance of produce growing. Along with rainwater storage (30,000 litre capacity) the grazing animals are kept happy with 2 large dams and irrigation extends to all corners of the property.
