Grape based spirit

We use grape-based spirit as the building blocks of our exceptional range of spirits and liqueurs. Derived as a sustainable byproduct from crushed grapes during the winemaking process, our ultra premium grape-based spirit gives us what we consider to be the best mouthfeel for our spirits.

Rainwater

It can be dry in the Outback. Our spirit production relies on filtered rain water as our sustainable water source with total storage for 191,800 litres of rainwater. This ensures our commitment to high quality, sustainable spirit without a reliance on the artesian basin.

Solar

With our rural and remote location, electricity poses a significant challenge for us. We've installed a 15 kW solar system, maximizing our capacity within these constraints. In our first year we have saved over 25.8 tonnes of CO2, and less than a third of our energy is purchased from the grid.

Sourcing botanicals sustainably

We grow as many of our botanicals in our onsite garden as our Outback climate allows & by supporting other producers in the Outback and within Australia, we aim to have the lowest carbon footprint food miles possible. Sadly we need Australia to grow more juniper!

Bees

Maintaining onsite botanical production relies on European beehives on the property. With a visiting apiarist caring for the bees, our Distilling team love the symbiotic relationship that creates an abundance of citrus and other botanicals.

Electric & Hybrid Vehicles

When collecting deliveries or running errands in town, we use our electric Tesla Model 3. Meanwhile, during Outback shows, races, and events, we use our hybrid Rav4 to keep our emissions low as we travel the vast distances our country is famous for.

Reuse, Reduce & recycle

We use biodegradable cups, straws, and cutlery.

Our bar stock is replenished from drums, minimizing our reliance on plastic and glass.

Composting

Our food waste is eaten by our farm chickens or composted. The used botanicals from our spirit making are either re-used in our kitchen for marmalades, jams or sauces or composted onsite. All trade and domestic wastewater is treated on site and used to irrigate grass and gardens.

Bubble Wrap Free

We're sick of bubble wrap ending up in the ocean! We use Heaps Good Hex wrap to protect our products in transit. Hex wrap is fully compostable and recyclable!

Containers for Change

We recycle cans and bottles used in our cellar door through Queensland's Containers for Change program.
