It is planted on northeast facing slopes at an elevation of 100-150m and now covers 3 hectares with average rainfall of 550mm per annum-although we have not seen this amount in the last few years. Soils are doleritic black clays over a calcareous sub layer. The vineyard consists primarily of Pinot Noir with smaller areas of Cabernet Sauvignon (with some Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot), Riesling and Chardonnay. Vines are planted in European fashion with rows 1.8m apart, vines 1.25m apart in rows, cane pruned, 2X10 bud canes, 2X2 renewal spurs. Vineyard trellis is vertical shoot positioned with some top hedging. Our oldest vines are 28 years old.
