When relaxing with a bottle of wine the last thing you imagine you are doing is helping save the planet. But with Elgo Estate winery's newest initiative you certainly could be. The family owned and unique Elgo Estate is forging ahead with a vision to conduct business in a fully sustainable way.

The Taresch family has commissioned a 150kw wind turbine. The turbine is positioned to convert a maximum amount of wind into renewable, green energy and saves more than 400 tonnes of greenhouse gas annually. And they also have plenty of other environment initiatives taking place.

The estate's newest wines will be brought to the table via 100% renewable energy. New vintages just released include the 2006 Allira Cabernet Merlot and the 2006 Allira Shiraz.
