Our rooftop solar array plays a major role in how we operate. It generates 188% of our annual electricity use, making better use of the energy we create.
We still draw from the grid at night and during heat-up, but once the still is running, we run on solar. Any surplus goes back into the network, putting the extra power to good use.
We reuse the hot cooling water from distillation for cleaning the next day, reducing both water use and energy demand.
Our water supply comes from the Southern Alps, and we filter it on site rather than transporting water in — a simple way to stay efficient and avoid unnecessary emissions.
We’ve refined our process and recipes to get more flavour from every botanical. Careful storage, precise batching, and consistent preparation mean we can achieve the profile we want while keeping waste low.
It’s a practical approach that delivers quality while using ingredients responsibly.
Bring your empty Humdinger bottle back to our cellar door for a refill and save $5. It’s a simple way to reuse a good bottle and cut down on waste.
A small change, but one that helps us all make better use of what we already have.
