Decarbonising by the Glass

In this podcast episode Pippa chats with Maggie Jarrett from See Saw Wines in Orange NSW.

Read the case study on the Farming Together website.

Maggie shares how See Saw Wines is turning a long-standing commitment to organics and soil health into a practical pathway for decarbonisation. You’ll hear how everyday decisions - from solar and lightweight glass to integrating sheep in the vineyard - are helping cut emissions while strengthening resilience and long-term viability.

Practical evidence from Maggie’s vineyard shows their strategies to reduce carbon are increasing soil organic matter, reducing diesel use and reducing emissions. Overall, this is helping to improve the long-term resilience of the farm.

So, enjoy the chat and visit See Saw Wines' website to learn more about their goals of sustainability and low-impact viticulture. You can also visit the Cellar Door for a wine and a snack.

Wine Australia also features the use of floating photovoltaic panels on the See Saw Wines dams.
