Vineyard / Terroir / Climate The vineyards are grown along gentle slopes of weathered shale and decomposed granite on clay sub-soil with great water retention. The grapes are sourced from trellised vines aged between 17 & 21 years old. A vertical trellis system ensures effective foliage management that plays a key part in achieving optimal ripening and balance in the sugar-to-acid ration, thereby promising fruit aromas and colour intensity at lower sugar levels. The vineyards are located 7 to 40km from the cold Atlantic Ocean, where they receive an annual rainfall of 450ml. Temperatures average between 9C to 19C in winter and 13C to 29C in summer.
