With a reverse lifestyle to grape vines, these bright yellow plants outcompete other weeds, without impacting the vine’s own survival – in essence, eliminating the need for harmful, synthetic weed killers.

No artificial pesticides or fertilisers are used, machinery usage is kept to a minimum, and native wildlife is planted throughout the vineyards, to maintain biodiversity. Owner Joch Bosworth isn’t just regarded as a brilliant organic farmer, though. He’s also widely upheld as a top class winemaker, producing one of the most exciting ranges in the McClaren Vale. Battle of Bosworth owes their fame to a series of outstanding single-vineyard wines, made entirely from estate grown fruit. Every wine’s label pays tribute to the natural biodiversity of the vineyards, with an image of the soursob flower featured on each.
