Scotts Creek is one of Australia’s largest and most significant natural wetland environments and home to Scotts Creek Wines. This area is a valuable part of the Australian wildlife system providing habitats and breeding sites for a diverse range of birds, fish and native wildlife.
Scotts Creek vineyard is located just outside the historical township of Morgan in the Riverland, South Australia. Established in 1974, under the direction of Australian Wine Industry pioneer Max Schubert, creator of Penfolds Grange Hermitage, the site was selected for its stony soils over a limestone base, producing wines with immense character and complexity.
The historic vineyard overlooks the Scotts Creek Wetlands, one of the River Murray’s major remaining wetlands. With the aim of returning the 870 hectares of wetlands and 400 hectares of heritage scrub to its natural state, the area is well on the way to achieving this feat, having won the River Murray Catchment Environment Award in 2003.
Not afraid to get her hands dirty, conservationist and grape grower Elise Byrne has passion, determination, and above all, a love of the environment. She explains... ‘Our group works to make a difference, thereby encouraging others to this national cause. Imagine the whole stretch of river, wetlands and floodplains managed and revitalised. Our group is doing it and so are others. The whole river system can be alive again!’
The future vision of Scotts Creek Wetlands is to continue to retain its prominent status by maintaining the biodiversity of its fauna and flora, in particular the endangered species present: Growling Grass Frog (alias Southern Bell Frog) and the Regent Parrot. The vineyards will soon be certified confirming its environmental credentials and neutral carbon footprint.
Scotts Creek wines are rich in varietal fruit flavour and character. The range includes organic Shiraz which is produced at a National Organic Program Certified Organic Winemaker and bottler, ensuring that the quality and organic status of the fruit is maintained all the way from vine to bottle.
