Sustainability in Focus

Mount Monument Winery: Pioneering Sustainability in the Macedon Ranges

At Mount Monument Winery, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a philosophy that drives everything we do, from vine to glass. Nestled in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, our vineyard and restaurant embrace eco-conscious practices that protect the environment, nurture the land, and produce exceptional wines that reflect the purity of our region.

Sustainable Viticulture: Caring for Our Land

Our commitment to sustainability begins in the vineyard. Mount Monument Winery follows environmentally responsible viticulture methods, ensuring that our soil, water, and biodiversity are preserved for generations to come. We employ:

• Organic and Minimal Intervention Practices: Avoiding harsh chemicals, we focus on natural soil health and pest management.

• Water Efficiency: Using precision irrigation systems, we reduce water waste while ensuring vines receive optimal hydration.

• Biodiversity and Habitat Preservation: Native plants, cover crops, and wildlife corridors help maintain a balanced ecosystem.

These practices don’t just protect the land—they enhance the quality of our grapes, producing wines that are expressive, balanced, and full of character.

Energy and Waste Management: Reducing Our Footprint

Sustainability extends beyond the vineyard. At Mount Monument Winery, we implement energy-efficient solutions and waste reduction strategies across our operations:

• Supporting Local: We use all local suppliers. This reduces our freight footprint and supports our neighbours.

• Recycling and Composting: Organic waste from our vineyard and restaurant is composted, returning nutrients to the soil.

• Eco-Friendly Packaging: Bottles and packaging are selected for their reduced environmental impact.

By taking these steps, we actively minimize our carbon footprint while maintaining the highest standards in wine production.

Sustainable Dining: Farm-to-Table Excellence

Our restaurant complements our sustainable ethos by offering a seasonal, farm-to-table menu. We source ingredients locally, reduce food miles, and craft dishes that celebrate the natural flavors of the Macedon Ranges. Every dish tells a story of care—for the land, the community, and your palate. We recently purchased an entire cow from our neighbours at Tall Poppy Farm. This is a prime example of nose to tale eating.

Award-Winning Wines with a Conscience

Sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on quality. Mount Monument Winery has been recognized with multiple awards for our wines, including our Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Riesling, which showcase the elegance and purity of grapes nurtured with care. Drinking our wines means enjoying exceptional quality while supporting environmentally responsible practices.
