OUR AIM
REDUCING RESOURCE USE THROUGH NATURAL FARMING
At Tractorless Vineyard, our goal is to minimize resource use by integrating natural farming systems into our vineyards. This approach fosters a sustainable and balanced ecosystem, ensuring the continued production of high-quality cool climate wines in the Southern Highlands.
By combining biodynamic techniques with animal systems, particularly our beloved Tractorless Vineyard sheep, we aim to enhance both sustainability and wine quality.
OUR FLOCK
The Tractorless Vineyard sheep play a vital role in our vineyard management. These Black Faced Hampshire Down sheep help maintain our vineyard and olive groves by naturally controlling weeds and thinning the vine canopy.
Our sheep are essentially solar-powered lawnmowers, providing natural fertilization and reducing the need for chemical treatments. We rotate the flock regularly to maximize their efficiency and promote a healthy vineyard environment.
OUR INSPIRATION
Winemaker Jeff Aston draws inspiration from his experiences in Georgia, one of the oldest winemaking regions in the world, where viticulture dates back over 8,000 years. Many renowned wine producers in Europe have adopted biodynamic practices to enhance grape quality and produce highly-rated wines.
Additionally, we are influenced by Dr. Rudolf Steiner’s insights into biodynamic farming, which emphasize the importance of social, economic, and agricultural sustainability in vineyard management.
