Our company. - AusGrape

35 Years Young

Founded in 1988, AusGrape has long been a reliable supplier of grape derived products to the winemaking and food and beverage manufacturing sectors for more than three decades. As a division of Australian Vintage, we enjoy access to one of Australia’s largest commercial wineries, Buronga Hill, located in Australia’s famous Sunraysia region. Our commitment to quality, consistency and precision has seen constant upgrades to our state-of-the-art facility, ensuring we have the industry’s most advanced technology and elevating AusGrape to be Australia’s leading producer of grape derived raw materials.

Committed to our Environment

As divisions of Australian Vintage, AusGrape & Buronga Hill winery are on a journey towards becoming Net Positive – a new way of doing business which puts back more into the community, the environment and the global economy than it takes out. With an ESG (environment, social, governance) strategy “to create good times for our future”, our three strategic priorities are to: renew and regenerate our environment; engage and nourish our people and communities; share and grow as an impactful business.

We are committed to giving back to the communities where we operate and forging meaningful partnerships with non-profit organisations and community groups to create positive change in Australia and beyond.

We are committed to building a more responsible, sustainable and inclusive organisation that allows people and the planet to thrive.

Energy

We are proud to be 100% powered by wind and solar energy, with 30% coming from solar panels on site at the Buronga Hill winery and the balance coming from off site wind and solar parks through our partner Flow Power. We see energy as an effective method of reducing our carbon footprint and also connecting with the communities that surround our operations in Australia and around the world.

Supply Chain

We are committed to continuing to build a transparent and traceable supply chain that upholds high standards of business conduct and respect for human rights and the environment. Policies are being implemented to support appointment of suppliers that are aligned with our sustainability goals and ambitions.

Water

Water is a critical part of our production, so we are continuing to consider how we can best conserve water used in our vineyards, treat water to be returned to the environment and off setting our consumption with Water Stewardship and partnerships.

Health & Safety

Safety of our team and those across our supply chain is of the utmost importance . We are continuously working to enhance global standards and process to create a safe environment for our people.
