Imagine a vibrant ecosystem teeming with life, from microscopic organisms to buzzing insects. That's the heart of our vineyards. 🌿🐛🐝

At Oakridge, we believe the secret to great wine is healthy soil. Our biological farming approach, with composting, compost teas, and cover cropping, enriches our soil's biome, boosting micro-fauna and carbon.

This commitment extends to our 'insectarium' and participation in the Yarra Ranges Ribbons of Green Program, fostering a vibrant, biodiverse vineyard ecosystem. In 2022, we were proudly accredited by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, a testament to our dedication to environmentally sound grape farming. 🍇
