Avondale
No one makes wine like we do.
At Avondale, owner Johnathan Grieve is getting back to
nature but he's using 21st century science, technology
and research in the process.
It started a few years ago when founders John and Ginny
Grieve made a simple choice: because wine is a natural
(and delicious) product, producing it should not harm the
environment in any way. Since then, we have been
uncompromising. And we trusted the wisdom of nature to
guide us. We use cover crops instead of synthetic fertilizer
to restore the balance of the soil.
We use ducks, wasps and geese to control pests and weeds. And we constantly question what we're
doing, making improvements, enhancements and ever greener decision as we go. After all, we want
the Avondale farm to be there long after we are gone, creating the same delicious wine. And we
believe the best way to do this is to make it a sustainable business, one that always works in harmony
with the earth. To many in the wine industry this sounds revolutionary. But, in truth, everyone should
make wine like we do.
