At Castlebrae Vineyard in Blenheim, New Zealand, sustainable farming practices are at the heart of the estate’s operations. The vineyard not only produces award-winning grapes but also hosts a thriving farm where eco-friendly methods are employed to nurture the land. Sheep graze between the vines, naturally controlling weeds and enriching the soil with their manure, while cows are rotationally grazed on the surrounding pastures, contributing to soil fertility through organic matter. This integrated approach to farming not only enhances the health of the vineyard but also promotes biodiversity, ensuring that Castlebrae remains a beacon of environmental stewardship in the Marlborough region.
