Sustainability at Wicklow Way Wines

Sustainability is truly at the heart of our work. Pamela, our MD, has dedicated many years to educating and involving herself in grand activities in an attempt to fight the climate crisis, having formally built windfarms in her role as a senior executive with Airtricity. Here’s a small overview of the positive actions we take, to play our part

Blackberry Wine Label

In 2021, we transitioned from use of plastic inflatables to 100% recyclable and compostable, card waste inserts, for wine shipped via postal services.

Environment

With our lifelong and personal commitment to the environment, sustainability is close to our hearts where we carry this concept throughout our production process. Our fruit is either foraged or selected exclusively from Bord Bia-approved growers, and the fruit pulp that remains after the berries are pressed, is broken down into microbially-rich compost, used for food production.

At the winery we make every effort to be as energy-efficient as possible and have committed to source our electricity from the electricity supplier with the lowest greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, while minimising and recycling all cardboard and plastics.

01

Gold standard sustainability

As a Gold-verified member of Bord Bia’s Origin Green programme, we meet the highest standards in sustainable food and drink production. Our commitment is recognised at a national level—and reflected in every bottle we produce.

02

From berry to soil

Nothing goes to waste. After pressing our berries, the remaining pulp is transformed into nutrient-rich compost, supporting local food production and enriching the land that gives us our ingredients.

03

Local first, always

We forage wild berries and partner only with trusted, Bord Bia-approved Irish growers. From the meadows of Wicklow to your glass, every ingredient is chosen with care—for the planet and for you.
