REGENERATIVE FARMING
At Mayfield, we are committed to cultivating our vineyards in a way that is gentle on the earth and considerate of our environment. We choose not to chase legal certifications like “biodynamic” or “organic”, which often emphasise form-filling over meaningful action. We focus on tangible practices that make a genuine difference. Come visit us and taste the difference that sustainable farming makes. Together, let’s raise a glass to a greener, healthier future! Cheers!
REGENERATIVE SOIL MANAGEMENT
Our sustainable farming begins with the health of our soil. In Winter, livestock graze and naturally fertilise the soil, promoting a balanced ecosystem. A permanent cover crop of native grasses between vines reinvigorates the soil. This natural cycle of grazing and crop rotation regenerates and ensures sustainability. Rarely irrigating minimizes water usage. Natural rainfall encourages deep root growth and robust vines that capture great complex wine flavours.
CARBON NEUTRAL
We’re actively working towards achieving carbon neutrality through several initiatives. The installation of solar panels at our facilities generates clean, renewable energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Our vineyard has a 100-year-old arboretum which plays its role in offsetting our carbon footprint and there are always trees being planted. Our goal is to minimise our environmental impact while maintaining the highest standards of wine quality.
VEGAN-FRIENDLY WINE
All of our wines are proudly vegan-friendly. They are produced without the use of animal-derived fining agents. Instead, we opt for plant-based or natural filtration methods. At Mayfield Vineyard, our mission is clear - to produce exceptional wines while being good global citizens and stewards of the land. Our sustainability journey is ongoing, and we’re constantly exploring new ways to improve our practices.
