550 native plants. One morning. Many hands.
A morning spent with our hands in the soil beneath Mount Pisa, as our teams from across the vineyard, w**ery, restaurant, cellar door and office came together to give back to the land we call home.
With blank canvas adjacent to our Block 1 Rocky Knoll, we saw an opportunity to restore this part of the landscape through native planting.
Lancewood, kōwhai, kānuka, coprosma, olearia and corokia are now in the ground, helping to stabilise the soil, encourage biodiversity and create habitats for native birds, pollinators and beneficial insects. Over time, these plantings will also contribute to capturing carbon and regenerating the wider ecosystem.
A small but meaningful step in our ongoing commitment to caring for this remarkable place, and a wonderful reminder of what can be achieved when our people come together.
