A Taste of Nature in Every Glass

Soil is the start of great wine.

At Organic One the soil is a living, breathing home to the vines.

It is rich in microbes because it is not damaged by any foreign chemicals. A special biodynamic compost helps the earth generate its own minerals, microbes and nutrients that are essential for highly flavoured grapes.

All life forms are honoured here as animals and plants share the land.

The 112 ha vineyard and a 9ha wildlife sanctuary makes it a type of natural playground for the birds, kangaroos,  goats, sheep, hares, cows and insects. It is a place where the vines can thrive. In France it is known as terroir, or sense of place, where geography bestows special taste characteristics upon grape varieties.

After harvest, sheep are brought into the vineyard to eat the wild grass and rub against the vines, multiplying the microbes and returning them to the soil to keep it alive and fertile. Grazing animals also help to boost the vines’ immunity so they are naturally resilient and do not need preservatives.

Planting and harvesting is also done in rhythm with the moon’s cycles. As the plants grow wild among the vines they act as an alternative to prey for the vines and bring in additional nitrogen from the atmosphere. The wild growth is cut back, becomes part of the compost and the cycle of growth and regeneration continues.

The wine is produced from this living community where life gives life and the cycle of abundance is ever-flowing.
