Combined with our practices in leaf plucking and cover cropping (to improve soil fertility and increase bio-diversity and a recycling water pump system that services the winery using treated recycled rain water, underpins LEVIN Wines and protection of the environment.
David and Lynne Levin together with the team at Domaine Levin are all personally committed to eco-sustainability even investigating the possibilities of using horses to work the land; a dream that David Levin and Lynne hope to realise someday soon. Key factors were taken into consideration when establishing the LEVIN vineyards and throughout the many years of developing the selection of award winning wines.
