Sustainability

Sustainable environmental practices are at the heart of what we do here at Sandridge Barton, with inclusion into the higher level Countryside Stewardship Scheme and a membership of Sustainable Wines of Great Britain.

Work is currently being carried out across the estate to protect the area's plant and wildlife species and ensure our agriculture isn't too intense or invasive. This includes tree planting, creation of wildflower meadows and the installation of bird and bat boxes to protect rare species. We have banned the use of pesticides and will be increasing cover crop plantings for natural weed control and nutrients.

Our new winery and visitor buildings have been designed with sustainability in mind and have solar panels, rainwater harvesting, air source heat pumps, an aerobic digestion waste system and spring water extraction used throughout the site, in order to further reduce our carbon footprint.
