Sustainable spray regime recognised

摘要

Coonawarra viticulturist Hans Loder's herbicide spraying program considered 'best practice'. HANS LODER HAS grapegrowing in his blood. Countless hours trekking through rows of vines while on pruning sessions with his father spawned an early interest in the science of the grape. "We never owned a vineyard, but my father was a viticulture lecturer and consultant and during my teenage years I spent a lot of time in and around vineyards," Loder said. During his studies at Charles Sturt University, Lodertended vines at Rymill in the Coonawarra district and for the past five years he's been entrenched in all aspects of vineyard management at the Wingara Wine Group's Katnook Estate.
