Carbon Insetting – Tahbilk Winery
CO2 Australia and Tahbilk Winery have a long-standing relationship, beginning in 2012 when CO2 Australia assisted with the establishment of baselines and forecasts of carbon storage of revegetation activities on their property.
CO2 Australia developed a bespoke tree measurement method in 2018 for calculating carbon stock within Tahbilk’s landholdings. Our successful collaboration led to certification of their winery with the data accounted for by insetting to obtain certification under the Toitū Net Carbonzero Certification Programme. This programme supports organisations to measure their greenhouse gas emissions and implement strategies to manage, reduce and offset impacts.
Certification was again achieved following monitoring by CO2 Australia in 2023. Tahbilk is well-renowned within the Australian wine community for its sustainability initiatives and is one of the longest standing wine families in Victoria.
