Angas & Bremer

Langhorne Creek’s climate is profoundly driven by the Southern Ocean and its average altitude of 20m, lower than that of any other region on the mainland. You might expect ample rainfall, but its growing season total of just 169mm makes irrigation essential. The net outcome is a climate that proffers generous yields with a lower-than-average need for sprays and lower overall cost per tonne of grapes. Thus most growers have organic accreditation, Angas & Bremer included. It has a registered compost area for vintage waste and sprays winery waste water on a native eucalyptus woodlot. -JAMES HALLIDAY
