Our principle in the vineyard is about land first, soil nutrition and following nature. Our vineyard locations are scattered in the cooler part of McLaren Vale, along the foothills east of the town. Wines made essentially by expressing the vineyard site and the underlying complex geology and cool maritime influence of the Gulf Saint Vincent. We select varieties fit for the environment, coming from all over the world, but especially those of Mediterranean / Iberian origins. There is a rich diversity here of growing and lifestyle, regional pairing and food for sharing. As well as vine tending and sustainable practices, we focus on the whole biodiversity and eco-system of our properties. This includes natural habitat restoration, extensive native species planting, creating healthy corridors for the birds & bees. We regard ourselves as alternative futurists – not subscribing to a particular certification model but believing in regenerative agriculture. The two key elements here are particularly increasing microbial and microflora soil diversity, and storing and building carbon. In essence, we are planting trees we may never see, but leaving a legacy for the next generation of the Leask Clan. And our wines? Well they are a labour of love, delicious and made with integrity.
