SUSTAINABILITY

Committed to sustainable winemaking at our winery in South Australia

We are committed to sustainability & responsibility in a bid to create a world without excess.

In 1847, along the banks of Jacob’s Creek, Johann Gramp planted his first vineyard. His vision was to create great tasting wines that reflect the true character of the grapes and the land. To this day we live and breathe this vision by producing wines that showcase how each grape variety expresses itself when shaped by the soil and the sun of Australia.

Sustainable Winegrowing

Our winery is home to the largest onsite winery combined solar installation in Australia. A 3.1MW system generates approx. 4000MW/year, equivalent to around 20% of our annual winery electricity consumption. Or powering 1000 homes in Barossa.

Our Winery in South Australia, and 100% of our owned Jacob’s Creek Vineyards are certified to ISO14001: Environmental Management Systems. This certification commits us to continuous improvements to prevent negative environmental impacts, enhance risk management and articular our policies and progress to monitor effectiveness.

Sustainable Vineyards enables us to produce high quality wines, while meeting environmentally responsible standards around biodiversity, soil, water and energy. We are always in touch with the land, minimising our impact, only using what we truly need and returning what we can to the land.

Supporting Biodiversity

We allow the land to live as nature intended by bringing biodiversity directly to our vineyards and testing and trialling regenerative agriculture across 3.5 hectares, to improve soil health and increase carbon in our soil.
