Peter Yealands

Peter Yealands is about bold, fresh thinking, in tune with the environment. To create great wines that don’t mess with the planet, Yealands Estate brings together the smartest ideas in environmental sustainability, as well as a bit of out-of-the-box thinking. Sustainability is at the core of everything Yealands does, whether it’s harvesting rainfall to recycle as irrigation, or using solar and wind power to help run its carboNZerocertTM certified winery. The company encourages biodiversity in the vineyard by planting native trees, and employs Babydoll miniature sheep to mow and weed between the vines. Every aspect of the way Yealands Estate nurtures its grapes, produces and packages its wines, aims to make minimal impact on the environment. With more than 150 medals achieved since the first vintage in 2008, Peter Yealands is proving that making the right choices for the environment makes a lot of sense.
