| Cape Jaffa is home to the first fully certified biodynamic vineyard on the Limestone Coast, and is arguably the largest fully certified biodynamic operation in South Australia with 25 hectares under management. At Cape Jaffa, biodynamic winegrowing means seeking alternate means to controlling pests and increase microbial life in the soil. Weeds are controlled by mowing and grazing sheep, fungi are prevented using milk sprays and biodynamic preparations, and a balanced soil environment is encouraged by spraying natural products which also builds plant strength and controls disease. Vineyard operations are also timed according to nature's rhythm, coinciding with specific phases of the moon to increase their effect. The results are more regionally distinct and terroir-driven wines, beautifully capturing the rugged character of Cape Jaffa's coastal vineyards. |
