learning from Mother Nature
Vineyard
Stan looks after the 6-acres dry-grown vineyard in a sustainable way: no pesticides, no herbicides, no artificial fertilisers on our land! Native graces protect the soil, no tilling or ploughing. Pruning after full moon, feeding with herbal and seaweed teas.
Grapes
We have six organically-grown grape varieties of various ages, from the 100+ year-old Grenache, Semillon and Muscat of Alexandria, to the younger Saperavi, Mataro (10+ y.o.) and Vermentino grapevines. Growing for low-quantity, high-quality grapes.
BnB & Gardens
Nelly manages the BnB cottage It's Bonza!, and maintaines the gardens around the property. It's a lifelong learning, observation, and ongoing work to design and plant resilient, water-wise, colourful, low-maintenance gardens that thrive in the Barossa's dry climate.
Wines & Campsite
Stan makes wine by the Natural winemaking principles: nothing added, nothing taken away! Lately, some of our airbnb guests have been asking to buy wine from us, hosever we don't sell wine anymore. Maybe we'll reconsider, one day ...
