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.
Renewables & Carbon Reduction
-
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.
-
In Australia, we are already using on and offsite renewable electricity. Our winery will use RE100 certified 100% renewable electricity by 2025.
-
We are experimenting with new technology to store renewable energy through a Thermal Energy Storage System, in partnership with Glaciem, ARENA (Australian Renewable Energy Agency) and the University of South Australia.
-
Minimising our impact means minimising the materials we use. Reducing materials and creating more sustainable packaging will significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with producing and transporting wine. We will work with our partners to innovate and use 100% reusable, recyclable or compostable packaging by 2025.
-
99% of organic waste from our winery was diverted from landfill in FY21.
