We take grapes from a diverse range of growers using different vineyard managment practices, including organic, biodynamic and regenerative approaches.
In our own vineyards we interplant the rows to encourage beneficial insects, we use sensitive water probes to minimise our irrigation requirements, and use electric vehicles in the vineyard where possible to minimise diesel use.
we care about doing things the right way
SUSTAINABILITY IN THE VINEYARD
SUSTAINBLE WINEGROWING NZ
Now more than 30 years old, NZ's world-leading sustainable winegrowers scheme requires all NZ Wines that are exported, or submitted to events and competitions, be fully sustainably certified. This includes over 90% of NZ's vineyard area. No other wine region has anything comparable.
As proud sustainable winegrowers, we monitor and minimise our water, energy, chemical and carbon footprint.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE WINERY
All our wines are made with a minimal intervention approach. All our white and rosé wines have been Vegan friendly since 2018.
Solar panels have been installed at our winery, providing 70% of vintage power requirements. The team are also working with a third-party certification scheme to measure and reduce carbon emissions.

SUSTAINABILITY AT HOME
We installed solar panels at Jules Taylor Wines HQ and any additional power is purchased from 100% renewable sources.
We have regenerated the waterway by our head office with native species that increase the biodiversity of the area and provide a habitat for local species of birds and insects.
Jules and George look after their staff by offering a four-day week to allow our small team to balance work, life and family, and to make the most of Marlborough’s relaxed, outdoorsy lifestyle.
