BODEGAS ANADAS, CARE

In the year 2000, two families, Diaz and Lazero, shared a philosophy of producing wines of the highest quality whilst maintaining a terrific price quality rapport. With their dream Bodegas Anadas was born in Aragon DO of Cariñena, combining the historic traditions of viticulture and modern techniques of winemaking to produce the exciting contemporary wines today.
Their beautiful labels are also designed by local artist Enrique Torrijos.
 

After 10 years the local Aragonese Academy of Gastronomy awarded Bodegas Anadas the prize of being “The Best Winery in Aragon”, an accolade which was and still is, justly deserved. Care is the ancient name that the Romans used to refer to the city of Cariñena, while also referring to the care they take in the vineyards, using low intervention, sustainable methods. The vineyards are the beating heart of the winery, sourcing all their grapes from 100 hectares of vines that the family have owned since 1914, which are located 600 meters altitude with some vines dating back to 1915.

BOLNEY ESTATE

Since 1972, the principle of sustainable management is crucial to Bolney’s continued existence and growth as a company. Their ‘Guided by Nature’ ethos sets the tone for many of our behaviours. With the mild climate and sandstone soil, they have spent many years discovering the best variety of grapes to grow in our eco system. Bolney believe that the more they understand and take inspiration from the nature around them, the more they can understand and appreciate its needs and protect its diversity and beauty for future generations.

As well as mulching their prunings back into the soil, they also have their biofilter as an effective way of safely treating and recycling water used in spraying. Bolney practise responsible waste management by recycling everything they can, including all packaging and chemical containers, used vineyard supplies (e.g. vine guards), as well as general food waste. They also source materials used in the vineyard from local suppliers wherever possible.

Bolney have installed solar panels on the roof of their new winery, as well as the main building at their Foxhole site. This generates approximately 30% of the electricity used across the site and generates up to 25KW of power, which is enough to run their disgorging and labelling lines. On long sunny summer days, the panels generate more electricity than the winery actually uses, so any left-over electricity goes to the National Grid for use elsewhere.

Waste wine and/or press juice is distilled to be made into Bolney Estate Gin and Bolney Estate Rosso Vermouth.

WYNNS CONNAWARRA ESTATE

Wynns Coonawarra was founded in 1891 by Scottish pioneer John Riddoch. This iconic estate is the largest single vineyard in the region, with the best and longest established vineyard sites in Coonawarra. Widely regarded as the benchmark for Coonawarra and Cabernet Sauvignon, they consistently provide great complexity, balance, and depth of flavour. They have quite the duo of winemakers, with Sue Hodder holding the Chief Winemaker role since 1993 and Sarah Pidgeon as Senior Winemaker since 1998.

Sustainability underpins everything Wynns do. It doesn’t just relate to the growing environment, it’s also the footprint they leave, the wines they make and built within their brand.

Wynns believes in the importance of adapting Coonawarra’s regional wines to changing growing conditions. In the last few years, droughts have prompted the team to adopt more sustainable viticultural methods. This includes precise soil moisture management and greater attention to vine health.

In the view that the hard work being done now, despite uncertain climatic times, will ensure the future survival of these vineyards. The modification of Wynns’ practices will ensure the survival of its vineyards for decades to come.
