The Environment and Innovation
At the Estate we are constantly looking at ways to improve what we do and the environment in which we work.
Irrigated field trials at Deakin Estate help refine our irrigation strategies and linked with plant physiology measurements further refinements are being made.
On-site solar powered moisture monitors assist in water management programs.
This allows us to conserve water, manage 'regulated deficit' irrigation and contribute to optimum fruit quality Revegetation of unused land and collaboration with local landcare groups.
Collaboration with leading government departments in vineyard trials.
Environmental sustainability through:

Collaboration with leading government departments in vineyard trials.
Environmental sustainability through:
- reduction of drainage and waste water
- new canopy management techniques
- reduction of waste products
- integrated pest management techniques & vineyard selection based on soil type and clones
