In 2005 Macquariedale Organic Wines became the first vineyard in the Hunter Valley to receive full Biodynamic Certification. Becoming Biodynamic was a lifestyle choice as well as it being very important to us to be able to improve the land as we farm it. Biodynamics takes organic and sustainability practises several steps further by actually improving the soil. Being Certified Biodynamic/Organic means all products used in the vineyard (and in our case our whole property) are all natural and do not contain synthetic chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or systemic chemicals. The results of these practises is that the produce is grown the way nature intended, retaining its fullness of flavour, richness of colour and diversity or aromas of the land. By practising Biodynamic viticulture, we secure a better and healthier future for our land, our plants, ourselves and for you, our customers.
Please give us your elevator pitch:
Macquariedale was the first certified biodynamic, organic winery in the Hunter Valley in 2005 having started making wine without any nasties since in 1996. Now with vineyards in Orange and the Hunter Valley and more than a dozen varieties available along with being able to boast having the highest vineyard in Australia we are one of the leading premium, vegan friendly, sustainable wine brands in Australia and remain family owned and run. It’s all because ‘the earth matters’.
