The Brief

Yealands Wine integrates biodiversity and ecological restoration into its vineyard operations as part of its long-term sustainability strategy.

Planting programmes aim to enhance habitat, improve vineyard resilience, and support broader environmental outcomes within the Marlborough region.

Riverside’s Role

Riverside supplies eco-sourced native plants grown specifically for Marlborough conditions.

Our involvement includes:

• Propagating regionally sourced native species

• Ensuring genetic suitability through eco-sourcing practices

• Growing plants to meet vineyard environmental requirements

• Coordinating supply to align with vineyard development and planting schedules

Plant selection focuses on species that contribute to shelter, biodiversity enhancement, and long-term ecological value within working vineyard landscapes.

Scale & Delivery

Plants are grown to specification and delivered in alignment with Yealands’ staged biodiversity initiatives across their vineyard properties.

Eco-sourcing ensures plant material reflects the natural character of the Marlborough region while supporting long-term environmental resilience.

Outcome
