Tamburlaine Organic Winery: Hunter Valley

Tamburlaine was established in 1966. In 1985 the Hunter winery was purchased by a small group of friends and relatives led by Managing Director and Chief Winemaker, Mark Davidson. Mark has built his long-term winemaking philosophy around Contemporary Organic practices in the vineyard and the winery. After challenging years of research and development, we have become one of Australia’s largest producers of organic wines with vineyards in the Hunter Valley and Orange region. We have adopted an Environment Management System (EMS) for our Hunter winery, including strategies for our water and solid-waste management, energy saving and environmental purchasing. Improvements are ongoing with new solar panels installed on our warehouse's roof. We compost our winery outputs (grapes and stems) and spread them in our vineyards to help increase organic matter. This is critical for all farming, but is the focus of organic farmers
