Four Winds and Hyatt Regency create Australia’s first ‘circular wine’

Murrumbateman winery Four Winds has partnered with leading hotelier Hyatt Regency Sydney and Australian food waste innovator Goterra to produce Australia’s first ‘circular wine’.

The unique partnership starts life at the Hyatt Regency, where food waste from the kitchens is directed to a specially built Goterra recycling facility in the hotel’s basement that is filled with millions of black soldier fly larvae.

The larvae in this facility (called a Modular Infrastructure for Biological Services) eat their way through the food scraps, excreting nutrient-rich fertiliser which is then shipped back to Four Winds Vineyard where it is used to nourish the vines that produce the grapes that are used im the debut product in the collection: Four Winds Vineyard’s 2025 Circular Vintage Shiraz.
