Sustainability

Sustainability is Important To Us

Wines centred around sustainability

Sustainability is important to Sorby Adams.

For us, winemaking is so much more than the end product, its about the whole process, ensuring we create a sustainable and maintainable operation for future generations to enjoy.

Equally, the delivery of a product range that satisfies our consumers needs, the wines cellaring potential, and the markets price segment.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution but a tailored and thoughtful approach.

  • Vegan Friendly

    All our wines are vegan friendly.

  • Verified Sustainable

    Sorby Adams is certified Sustainable Winegrowing Australia Winery. 

  • Certified Growers

    Our growers are encouraged to be and in the process of their certification.

  • Eco Power

    Solar Panels provide over 85% of our power and we aim for full off-grid by '24.

  • Recycled Water

    Water is captured in rainwater tanks, and is recycled with its use reduced.

  • Reduce Footprint

    Shared resources reduce winery specific footprint - through contract crush & bottling.

  • Angel Share

    Our air conditioning and humidity system holds barrels at constant temperature to reduce wine evaporation loss (known as Angel Share). 

  • Sustainable Packaging

    We use shared tooling in the production of our labels, screw caps, and cartons; our labels are recycled or alternative materials or screen printed on glass.

  • Fish Farm

    Fish farm is being installed to reduce water for our winery and develop our veggie patch.
