TERRACE VINEYARD
Site:
Our Pinot Noir was grown on a small glacial terrace, a step up from the valley floor and gently sloping to the north and east
Soils:
The soils are schist derived fine sandy loam over gravels with some clay content. They have low organic matter, which coupled with the region’s dry climate, leads to low or moderate vigour vines.
Planting Density: 4343/ha
Variety & Clones: Pinot Noir 115, 5, Abel, 777 and 667
Rootstock: The vines are all grafted onto rootstocks 101-14, 3309, 3306, 125AA
Trellising: VSP
Pruning: Cane pruned
Organic Status: Fully Certified Biogro (from 2016)

Planting density: 3846/ha
Variety & Clones: Pinot Gris GM2/15, GM2/21, Mission Flora
Rootstock: The vines are all grafted onto rootstocks SO4, 101-14, 3309
