Chester Osborn, the fourth-generation family winemaker at d'Arenberg, said, "Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond our environmental footprint. We're proud to be working with Reconciliation Australia on our first RAP, which we believe will help foster unity and mutual respect between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and wider Australia. Together with our SWA certification and carbon net zero emissions target, we are taking significant steps towards our ongoing journey of sustainability and reconciliation."
d'Arenberg's commitment to sustainability is evident in its ongoing practices, such as using traditional winemaking methods, employing organic and biodynamic practices, and maintaining biodiversity on the estate.
As d'Arenberg continues to forge a path towards sustainable wine production and social responsibility, the winery invites wine lovers and environmental advocates to join them in their journey towards a more sustainable future.
