of Judges Melbourne Wine Show 2007 Winemaker of the Year by GourmetTraveller WINE Environment and technology As a family owned company, De Bortoli Wines has often taken a longer-term view of the world than a traditional corporate equivalent. Examples include the consideration of concepts such as data sovereignty and commitment to open standards based computing, leading to the organisation standardising on the OpenDocument Format for office productivity files though the use of OpenOffice.org 2.0. Other notable technology rollouts include TYPO3 for both the Internet site & corporate intranet, Jedox and Pentaho for business intelligence, dotProject for collaborative project management, Fedora Directory Server with SAMBA 3 for authentication & file serving, and the rollout of Linux clients on the desktop. Examples of De Bortoli Wines' long-term view of environmental sustainability include: Participating in the Greenhouse Challenge and Packaging Covenant and the Australian Wine Industry Environmental Stewardship program. Adopting an integrated Pest Management System in the vineyard minimising the use of chemical sprays. Purchasing easy to clean winery equipment to minimise water usage, for example dry cake discharge filters and centrifuges. Adopting recycling practices at all sites e.g. composting of winery skins and stalks, restaurant compostables, separation of bottles, cardboard, cork, and plastic. Removing all Sodium based products from the Griffith site because of concerns relating to salinity in the environment.
