WHEN COMBINED, SMALL VICTORIES IN SUSTAINABILITY CAN ADD UP TO BIG CHANGES!
From vineyard to bottle, we are committed to a sustainable future for our family, our wine company and for the planet.
Learn more below about the steps we are taking:
SUSTAINABLE VINEYARDS
Our family owns four vineyards across the Barossa and the vineyards and winery are certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia, a collaboration between The Australian Wine Research Institute, Wine Australia and Australian Grape & Wine. This is a voluntary program that requires Elderton and the Ashmead family to meet best practice standards for all elements of sustainability: environmental, economic and social. In all sincerity, we have been doing this for years but felt now was a good time to get the stamp to prove it.
We are a proud South Australian family, and we celebrate the diversity and quality of grapes grown by other South Australian families. If not sourced from our vineyards, we work with grape growers who also have a real passion for their farms and the varieties they grow.
VEGAN WINES
All Small Victories Wine Co wines are made vegan friendly – no animal products were used during the making of our wines.
SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING
We have worked with our packaging suppliers to bring you more environmentally friendly packaging.
Our bottles are lightweight, requiring less energy to produce the glass and transport the wine to you.
We use recycled cardboard for our cartons, and both the cartons and empty wine bottles are able to be recycled by you, when you finish enjoying our wines.
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE WINERY
Wines are made by Jules at our family-owned winery in Nuriootpa, where we also produce the Elderton wine range. Our winery has solar power across the production facilities, we obtain about 75% of our required water for the winery through capturing and storing rainfall and 100% of the winery water is recycled back onto our vineyards.
The winery is also certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
