Plantings

Original Vineyard Pinot Noir in 1988
Block Five Pinot Noir in 1992
Block K Pinot Noir in 2001
Vineyard elevation 500 meters above sea level
Soils predominantly shattered quartz over siltstone and clay with some eroded volcanic top soil over clay. Generally unfertile.
Production ranges from 1,800-3,000 dozen bottles per vintage
Yields typically 1.5 to 2 tonnes per acre (3.5 to 5.0 tonnes per hectare)
Typical hand management regimes of fastidious small vineyard philosophies are maintained encompassing hand pruning, frequent passes (at least ten passes each vine) though the growing season managing the vertical shoot positioned canopy and hand harvesting.
Increasingly low impact, organic outcomes are being trialed and implemented.
