In the vineyard, fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides are strictly prohibited, whilst compost teas, fish oil, seaweed extract and humate are applied to feed and nurture a healthy and diverse range of soil organisms and grass species, which in turn release nutrients into the soil to feed the vines, improve soil condition and fruit quality, cultivate natural and healthy wine fruits. Allinda Winery is proud to be one of the few Australian wineries using purely biological farming practices based on the principles of Dr Elaine Ingham who is a globally recognized leading expert in soil biology.
