Our wines are grown, made and bottled entirely on the estate from our own grapes, using organic and biodynamic principles. We produce our own b...
Our soils are derived from Cambrian period basaltic rock of 500/600 million years age.
They are quite rare in the world because of their great age, particularly in Australia. Here in Heathcote they are unusually deep (up to 4 metres), rusty red coloured, well drained, gravelly loams on undulating hillsides, with good moisture retention capabilities.
Occurring in a narrow, non-contiguous strip between two North/South running faults, they ...
