Winery | The grapes come from a three-hectare estate vineyard, where the vines have an average age of 40 years, producing low yields of concentrated fruit. The vines face a south-easterly orientation, maximising exposure to the sun to assist in the ripening of the berries. The soils are ‘silex’, a flinty clay which produces elegant wines with distinctive graphite and mineral characteristics. The vineyard is currently converting to organic status; the farming methods used over many years have followed these principles. Vineyard management techniques include ploughing the soil instead of using herbicides, growing cover crops between the rows of vines and sexual confusion of predators to maintain the vines' health and the environment's biodiversity. |
