Our winery is in the process of gaining ACO certification for organic production, and we are proud to be a certified member of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
Traditionally vintage runs from late January until end of April with additional post-vintage work available for the right candidates. We are located 8km from Avoca and on-site accommodation is available for vintage staff.
