“In 1984 people thought the Milltons were crazy to grow their grapes organically. They’ve spent the last thirty-five years proving them right! Now, it seems everybody wants to be crazy, and that’s just what this planet needs. Crazy by Nature – makes perfect sense.”
The Millton’s learnt that if you’re kind to nature she will always repay you, with quality. They don’t use herbicides, insecticides, systemic fungicides or soluble fertilisers. They try and build a balance to create harmony so that there will be no place for ‘dis-ease’. They are some of the first winegrowers in the Southern Hemisphere to practice the
use of biodynamic techniques in the vineyard and cellar. This practice includes working with the sun, stars, planets and moon as well as using special animal, mineral and herbal preparations that enhance the life (bio) energy (dynamic) of all living things on their farm. This may seem crazy as a lunatic on a full moon but it makes them happy and even more enthusiastic as each season commences.
It’s not secret that the best bottle of wine is made of grapes from a vine that has been gown with sensitivity of the environment. Crazy by Nature, it makes perfect sense.
