Our Vineyard

The property that Wayfinder calls home hosts many special things; a 40-hectare vineyard, sheep, chickens, bees, pockets of native bushland, an extensive revegetation planting, a veggie garden, an orchard, three large dams and the sheds and offices we work in. It's a lot of land to take care of but something we are so very proud to live with, and on.

• The entire vineyard is ACO organic certified.
• All our vines are non-grafted.
• The oldest vines were planted in 1994 and 1998 and our newest blocks were established in 2021.
• We seed a multi-species cover crop to improve soil structure, suppress weeds and attract beneficial insects into the vineyard blocks.
• Sheep grazing is used over the winter months to manage the mid-row area and provide natural fertiliser to the vineyard floor.
• Chickens are used in the young vine blocks to help control insect pests.
• Irrigation is used sparingly and only during periods of intense heat load. Select blocks of older vines are dry-grown.
• Planting density: 3m row by 2 m vine spacing.
• Our fruit is hand-picked to ensure it remains in pristine condition when it arrives at the winery.
• There are a myriad of soil types across the property, including Keenan soils, Mungite sands and Forest Grove Gravelly Loam Duplexes.
