Chalmers Merbein Vineyard, at the Forefront of Sustainable Viticulture
The Chalmers Merbein base, on Njeri Njeri Country, houses the nursery, winery, and precious mother vine material. Acquired in 2010, the vineyard's red sand and limestone soils host grapes for Chalmers wines and supply others. Varieties undergo trials to determine ideal viticultural practices. These trials link to the onsite winery, developing style directions and assessing ideal planting locations. The nursery collection consists of around 50 grape varieties suited to the conditions. Bush vine blocks of Inzolia and Negroamaro, planted like traditional southern Italy, aim for no irrigation through drought-tolerant rootstocks.
