Winery | The Assyrtiko vines are from clones Peter originally imported from Gaia's vineyard, Santorini. They were first planted in 2012 in the Lodge Hill vineyard, on the eastern ranges of Clare, where the soils are brown loam overlaying a layer of clay and slate bedrock. Subsequently, blocks have been planted at the Florita vineyard in Watervale in the western ranges of the Clare Valley on terra rossa soils. The Lodge Hill block produces tight wines with excellent flavour persistence, while the vines planted on terra rossa soils are more generous and fuller-flavoured. All the vines in the Assyrtiko blocks are planted in shallow soils over the bedrock, making them struggle just a little, producing intensely flavoured wines. The vines are single-cordon trained to promote even canopy growth and provide optimal shade. |
