To Listen
Through careful observation and feedback the Angove family have developed sound environmental practices and procedures, exceeding all relevant environmental legislations – not because they must but because they want to.
To Support
The Angove family help develop environmental policies and initiatives, in conjunction with the Australian wine industry and through their founding membership with the Wine Industry Sector Agreement on Climate Change and Greenhouse Gas reduction.
To Protect
Protecting the environment and conserving its natural resources is at the core of all the Angoves’ activities. Conveniently, healthy soils and ecosystems produce the highest quality grapes and craft the best wine.
To Act
As one of the largest employers in the Riverland, Angove Family Winemakers play a significant role in the local community through job creation, supporting local business and working on community issues.
Angove Family Winemakers is focused on real actions and investment that will benefit the environment, improve work efficiencies and measure overall business impact.
Power
Angove is constantly looking to reduce power use, and consequently decrease green house gas emissions. The following changes have helped reduce their carbon footprint
Organic and Biodynamic Viticulture
Angove Family Winemakers began their journey in organic viticulture in 2009. Two hundred hectares of their Nanya Vineyard in the Riverland is certified organic as is their 10 hectare Warboys Vineyard, adjacent to the McLaren Vale Cellar Door.
Water
All vineyards are watered using drip irrigation, with soil moisture probes used to inform irrigation decisions, resulting in an estimated 25% reduction in water consumption per hectare.
Rainwater is captured and stored for future use as process water within the winery, while winery waste water is treated and used as irrigation water in the 25 hectare woodlot, planted to regenerate a salt scolded flood plain.
Packaging
Angove Family Winemakers is a member of the National Packaging Covenant and has a strong commitment to recycling packaging materials including glass, cardboard, paper and plastics with systems in place to ensure efficient handling and collection of all items for recycling. Light weight bottles that use 40% less glass and deliver a reduction of CO2 per bottle of more than 15% has been introduced in certain lines. All carboard boxes are made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and are 100% recyclable.
