Australia’s oldest family owned winery picked up the award for their pioneering sustainability programme and progressive stance on matters green. Yalumba’s “Commitment to Sustainable Winemaking” includes all of their business activities, from grape growing to distribution. A recent endeavour was to re-create biodiversity through the planting of mallee trees in the Riverland region. The Green Apple Awards are hosted by the Green Organisation, an independent, non-political, non-activist, non-profit environment group.
