Over 95 percent of this Pinot Noir comes directly from estate vineyards. The soil in these vineyards is primarily “Jory” soil, a weak volcanic ash and rock type promoting low-yielding vines with premium quality fruit.
The vineyard management follows a strict regime. Early in the year shoot thinning is performed. After fruit set, leaves are removed in the fruit zone on the east side of the vines. Later the clusters are counted and adjusted through thinning for a maximum of 28 clusters per vine. Finally, once the grapes have achieved 75% colour, a final cluster thinning is performed to remove any green clusters and second crop clusters. Vineyard practices are the leading factor in this high fruit quality.
