Casella Family Brands has announced the certification of its winemaking sites, vineyards and grape supply under the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia scheme.
Casella Family Brands is a producer of [yellow tail] wines, Peter Lehmann Wines, Morris of Rutherglen, Baileys of Glenrowan and Brand’s Laira Coonawarra.
Sustainable Winegrowing Australia is the national program for grape growers and winemakers.
CFB's involvement in the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia initiative aims to demonstrate its dedication to sustainable practices and the long-term growth of Australia's wine industry.
The CFB-owned Riverina, Barossa, Rutherglen, and Glenrowan wineries are now certified by Sustainable Winegrowing Australia.
From the 2025 vintage release, wines from [yellow tail], Peter Lehmann Wines, Brand’s Laira, Morris of Rutherglen, Baileys of Glenrowan, Casella Family Wines and Atmata will be Sustainable Winegrowing Australia-certified.
In 2024, CFB contributed 12 per cent of Australia’s annual wine grape crush.
As a result, more than one in 10 grapes harvested will now be grown under the Sustainable Winegrowing Australia program.
Sustainability Manager Joey Sergi said the certification was a significant step in the company’s sustainability journey.
“After investing in installing our large-scale solar farm last year, we’ve focused on achieving Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification across our wineries and grower base,” Mr Sergi said.
“Consumers are increasingly choosing brands that prioritise sustainability, and with a Sustainable Winegrowing Australia certification, they can trust our wines are produced with environmental care.”
