Viticulture

Viticultural practices determine to a large extent the quality of fruit grown.

Johnson Estate employs biodynamic consultants to complement the commitment to sustainable farming. Certified Sustainable in the vineyard and winery through New Zealand Winegrowers Sustainability Programme, Spy Valley is committed to looking after the land for generations to come.

Managing ten varieties of grapes takes a great deal of understanding of the land, the environment and climate to ensure each has the correct requirements fulfilled for successful growth.

Viticultural staff link closely with winemakers in ensuring the goals of wine style and quality are achieved year after year.
