Biodynamics

“Drinking great biodynamic wines is like listening to live music: the best conventional wines are like a standout performance on CD, played on the smartest audio equipment. Listening to the CD can be deeply enjoyable, even moving - but not as profound, memorable or rewarding as being in the audience at a concert, experiencing the moment with all your senses.”
Max Allen - wine journalist

In 2006 Macquariedale Estate was the first vineyard in the region to receive biodynamic certification.

For Ross and Derice, it was a lifestyle choice toward sustainability. Initially they looked into organic viticulture, and after looking into biodynamics realised that it takes sustainability one step further and actually improves the soil.

Biodynamics is a system of organic agriculture first put forward by Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner in 1924. Biodynamics sees the soil as an organism in its own right and uses special preperations, applied acording to cosmic rhythms, to naturally enhance the soil and thus plant vitality.

The resulting produce, grown naturally the way nature intended, regains its fullness of flavour, richness of colour and diversity of aromas. By practicing biodynamic viticulture, we secure a better and healthier future for our land, our plants, ourselves and for you, our customers.
