When placed in a pristine region, there lies both the opportunity and obligation to utilise the most natural, possible methods.

VITICULTURE
Vasse Felix firmly supports organic and sustainable viticulture, where every practice is guided by the philosophy of achieving 'fruit quality through plant health and plant health through soil health.' 

A constant focus on soil biology and environmental health is maintained in all vineyards. This is enhanced with Margaret River's natural suitability to viticulture as a result of it's climatic and environmental attributes. Some examples from the environmental program include:

Natural Fertilisers A natural compost program is operated for recycling matter. This fertile mixture is used for topsoil enrichment.

Weed Control Sheep grazing of pastures at Carbunup vineyard throughout winter offers natural weed management.

Water Catchments The sole water supply for Vasse Felix comes from dams and rainwater tanks.

PACKAGING & PRODUCTION
Of equal significance to the Vasse Felix commitment to sustainable viticultural practice is a dedication to optimising the use of resources in production and packaging.
 
Recycling An extensive recycling program for all plastics, glass and cardboard materials that are used in the wine production process is in operation.
 
National Packaging Covenant Vasse Felix is a signatory within the Australian Packaging Covenant. This participation places Vasse Felix as an industry ambassador to continually source and utilise more sustainable and recyclable packaging, while encouraging suppliers and consumers to also adopt sustainable principles.  Click here to read more.
