our story
A large emphasis is placed on the quality of the soil. This provides the platform for growing healthy, clean fruit, full of natural flavour and aromatics.
Year round the vineyard is hand tended with a large number of man hours ensuring that the fruit is the best it can be for every vintage.
An ideal north-facing aspect provides maximum sun exposure, with rows running north to south for even bunch ripening. The high density planting of around 5000vines/ha results in smaller more concentrated yeilds with the aim of no more than 1-1.5kg of fruit per vine.
The original vineyard comprised of Cabernet Sauvignon (70%), Merlot (20%), Malbec (5%) and Syrah (5%). Both Syrah and Cabernet Franc perform extremely well in our microclimate. As such, we are currently implementing a replanting program of new French clones of Syrah and Cabernet Franc.
