Gardners Ground,
sited on the southern bank of the Belubla River was selected as a site
for an organic vineyard in 1996 after an extensive search of
south-eastern Australia. It was selected for its geological formation as
well as its natural beauty.
The vineyard was always planned to be
organic and the use of chemicals ceased in 1996. The soil structure and
drainage were extensively surveyed with detailed assessment by
professional staff. The vines were planted after cropping the area with
lupins to improve the organic matter in the soil and increase nitrogen
content.
The climate in Canowindra provides hot
summers and cool winters with rainfall quite evenly distributed. During
the growing season rainy days are less frequent, allowing the growth of
Mediterranean crops, (including grapes) with reduced disease pressure.
With the rainfall of 580mm per year,
irrigation is primarily used in the establishment of young vines and at
the commencement of the growing period. As organic growers, we are
prepared to accept lower yields than conventional growers.
