Sustainability at Wairau River
As a family making our living from the land, our decision-making has always been grounded in our responsibilities to both the environment and people. Recognising that traditional farming was not the best fit for our land was the first step towards growing grapes. From land to table, Rose Family Estate is committed to not just mitigating but positively impacting our environment and people. We know that to do this requires creative thinking, innovative solutions and action. It needs to be a way of life.​
Energy
100% of our electric energy comes from renewable sources. Including solar, geothermal, hydro and wind.
Water
We use technology to measure, monitor and reduce water use in our vineyards. Telemetry, drip line irrigation and pressure bomb testing allow targeted, data driven decision making and precision application across 500ha of vineyards.
