Crazy By Nature, that's just what this planet needs.
In 1984 they thought we were crazy to grow our grapes organically. We’ve spent the last twenty-five years proving that they were right! Now, it seems everybody wants to be crazy, and that’s just what this planet needs. Crazy by Nature – makes perfect sense.
We’ve learnt that if you are kind to Nature she will always repay you, with quality. We don’t use herbicides, insecticides, systemic fungicides or soluble fertilisers.
We try and build a balance. To create harmony so that there will be no place for “dis-ease”.

As one of the first winegrowers in the Southern Hemisphere to practice the use of biodynamic techniques in the vineyard and cellar, our practices include working with the sun, stars, planets and moon as well using special animal, mineral and herbal preparations that enhance the life (bio) energy (dynamic) of all living things on our farm. This may seem as crazy as a lunatic on a full moon but it makes us happy and even more enthusiastic as each season commences. Learn more about biodynamics.
It’s no secret that the best bottle of wine is made of grapes from a vine that has been grown with sensitivity to the environment.
Crazy by Nature – it makes perfect sense.

2008 Crazy By Nature Shotberry Chardonnay
Shotberry Chardonnay is a blend from our biodynamic Estate vineyards in the Gisborne winegrowing district. Shotberries are those little seedless grapes from the mendoza clone of Chardonnay that appear when the flowering has been interrupted by cold conditions. Made in a sensitive style with the freshness of an ocean breeze, aromas of white peach and melon and a vibrant palate. Recommended by John Hawkesby in Canvas June 12th 2010. The Crazy by Nature range represents our passion for making wine from biodynamically grown grapes. |

2009 Crazy By Nature Cosmo Red
This convivial, buoyantly fruity red is like a bouncy redhead in a summer dress. An eclectic marriage of mouthwatering varieties that grow well in the Gisborne sun, showing notes of bitter chocolate and booze-soaked maraschino cherries, with a hint of cigar for spice. The Crazy by Nature range represents our passion for making wine from biodynamically grown grapes. Please note this wine has been crazily popular. It has sold out at cellar door and is now only available through Countdown, Foodtown and Woolworths. |
