The thought behind Nederburg adopting regenerative farming, according to Van Graan is to &#8220;leave the soil better than they got it&#8221; by combining &#8220;old wisdom and new technology&#8221;.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-changemakers\">Changemakers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In what could be a first for South Africa&#8217;s wine industry, Nederburg has introduced a closed-loop irrigation system linking its vineyards and cellar. The initiative has cut the wine farm&#8217;s dependence on municipal water, saving around 45 000 cubic metres annually while boosting grape yields and fruit quality.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_11_08303.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Isabel Teubes, viticulturist at Nederburg. Photos: Lukas Stander<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Teubes the installation of automated biological-wastewater treatment technology is enhancing Nederburg&#8217;s self-sufficiency and climate resilience. Should expansion be required, the farm could increase its vineyard area by 8% without raising its water usage.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The system, in place since January 2024, relies on a locally developed, trademarked method that uses no additional electricity and requires neither membranes nor filtration. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It operates by introducing 43 specially-sequenced bacterial strains into the cellar&#8217;s effluent water. These microbes break organic matter down and even some inorganic material, treating the water to drinking-grade standards that exceed the Department of Water and Sanitation&#8217;s guidelines.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The treated water is channelled into seven on-site dams and reused for vineyard and garden irrigation as well as cleaning cellar equipment. Any overflow into the Berg River has, according to Teubes, improved aquatic health and water quality. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are seeing the immensely positive impact of irrigation water quality on our soils, their structure, and their water-holding capacity,&#8221; she said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-longstanding-sustainability\">Longstanding sustainability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Microbial communities also support carbon sequestration, locking atmospheric carbon into the soil through root systems and photosynthesis. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"269979\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/nederburg-wines-to-adopt-regenerative-farming\/picture_20250919_10_89044\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1200,1800\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"picture_20250919_10_89044\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Henk van Graan, Heineken&amp;#8217;s agricultural specialist.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Henk van Graan, Heineken&amp;#8217;s agricultural specialist.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044-683x1024.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-269979\" srcset=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/picture_20250919_10_89044.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Henk van Graan, Heineken&#8217;s agricultural specialist.

Biochar, considered carbon-negative, stores carbon for centuries while improving soil structure, reducing acidity and encouraging microbial activity. Wood used in the Biochar machine includes thatch from restored thatch roofs on the farm, old vines and wine barrels.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;When mixed with compost from grape skins, stems, pips, and other organic matter, and inoculated with nutrients, biochar creates a porous environment that retains water and reduces reliance on chemical fertilisers,&#8221; he said.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025Nederburgsustai_16986.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Biochar is also produced on Nederberg.

It has been a WWF Conservation Champion since 2020, recognised for water stewardship and has introduced water-saving irrigation, rehabilitated land, and refined cellar processes. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/paarlpost\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/2025Nederburgsustai_82698.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The carbon compounds on Nederburg.

We can already see the benefits, even after less than two years.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Van Graan the shift reflected a broader philosophy. &#8220;Regenerative methods such as biological wastewater treatment, biochar production, and composting are not simply about reducing inputs. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;They are about giving back to the land, creating balance, and ensuring long-term resilience.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nederburg wine farm has adopted regenerative farming since 2022, emphasizing land rehabilitation, water conservation, and
