The Vineyard

Our Mount Benson Estate comprises over 182 hectares, with 140 planted to vineyard. The site gets its name from the imposing Norfolk Pines that line the boulevard running through the centre of the vineyard and were specifically chosen to withstand the Southern Ocean winds that roll in off the coast.

Since purchasing the site, we have consciously made decisions and implemented measures to support our environmental goals and vision for a sustainable future. Most recently, we installed a 99.84KW solar system of 256 solar panels, which now powers around 75% of our day-to-day energy needs. We’ve also introduced sheep into our vineyard to reduce the need for herbicides and pesticides, whilst also providing additional organic nutrients back into our soils.
