Vineyard
The vineyard is coastal and sits on a north facing slope. The maritime influence gives a temperature moderating effect and provides a daily, gentle sea breeze which reduces the risk of disease and keeps the site cool. This gives a more even diurnal temperature throughout the growing season which is fantastic for ripening. This, along with cool nights help retain freshness and acidity to the wines. The soils are gravel threaded clays that give the wines a lovely textural element.

These grapes were hand picked and whole bunch pressed and left to settle overnight in stainless steel before being racked to Puncheons for fermentation.
