OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH BEGINS IN THE VINEYARD — PROTECTING OUR LAND, SUPPORTING BIODIVERSITY AND REDUCING OUR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT.

  • From the earliest days of Mount Langi Ghiran, sustainability has meant understanding our land deeply — its soils, climate, waterways and ecosystems. Today, as certified members of Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, we continue to build on that foundation, preserving biodiversity while minimising our environmental impact.

  • Our approach is grounded in practical, long‑term thinking: caring for our vines and soils, reducing inputs where possible, conserving water and energy, and protecting the native forests and wildlife that surround our estate. These commitments shape a cleaner, more resilient Mount Langi Ghiran.

OUR INITIATIVES INCLUDE:

Viticulture & Biodiversity

  • Integrated Pest Management to minimise inputs and encourage natural biological control
  • Low humidity climate and canopy management techniques naturally protect our vines from fungal diseases
  • Continuous soil and vine health monitoring informing curated programs of organic preparations supporting biological function and plant resilience
  • Optimising and conserving precious irrigation water
  • Sheep to promote nutrient cycling and reduce need for machinery to manage pasture growth
  • Preservation of native forests and planting species favoured by Yellow-Tailed Black Cockatoos
  • Milling trellis posts from our own native timber plantation

Winery

  • Type 2 Energy Audit driving meaningful efficiencies
  • 99kW solar system installed in 2021 reducing energy grid consumption
  • High-pressure cleaning equipment to reduce the volume of wastewater
  • 1.25 million litres of rainwater collected each year for winery use

• Insulated hot water infrastructure

• LED lighting throughout production areas

Packaging

  • Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) member since 2011
  • Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Certified since 2023, showcasing the SWA Trustmark proudly on our labels
  • Targeting 100% recyclable products across packaging, where possible 
  • Bottling wines close to the distribution point to reduce carbon footprint
  • Vineyard rows on a hillside with mountains in the background at sunset
  • Vineyard and dam viewed through tree branches with hills in the distance
  • View through vine leaves of vineyard rows at sunset with sun flare

“We’re really proud of efforts in this space – our grape growing, winemaking, investment in biodiversity and land rehabilitation.”
