We planted two varieties of Pinot Noir and a small amount of Cabernet Sauvignon. Our vineyard has a northerly aspect with a large dam at the base of the valley to assist with drawing frost away from the vines in winter and spring. We produce handcrafted wines paying particular attention to detail. The extended ripening period enhances the fruit flavour and provides subtle tannins.
