Our Pinot Noir

Our Pinot Noir plantings comprise a complex mix of 20 different clone and rootstock combinations of differing ages, the oldest planted in 1980.

Some rootstocks are more tolerant of drought, others are not. Each combination has a different way of expressing the terroir of the vineyard providing a complex palette for our winemaker to draw from.
