Our Vineyard
|
It's our belief that climate and soil should be in harmony for the production of quality wine grapes. The Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Albariño utilises a low trellis and reduced grape spacing requiring each vine to do less work and allow greater control over grape bunches and their quality. The Tempranillo vines are planted in a tradition Spanish style of 1 meter by 1 meter and pruned to a bush vine while the Shiraz are on a tall traditionally Australian trellis making the most of its vigour. The vineyard is divided into 3 main paddocks separated by their irrigation requirements:
We have chosen the following clones and root stocks for our vineyard as they fit our soil and climate well for those interested they are:

The Stockman's Ridge Vineyard was first planted late in 2004 with Shiraz vines. 2005 saw the planting of paddock C and D in the first week of October consisting of both white and red grapes.
