Situated just 45 kilometres east of Melbourne, the Yarra Valley is a large and diverse cool-climate wine region. Its elevation spectacularly ranges from lows of 50m to heights of 1,250m due to the influence of the Great Dividing Range. The region is characterized by significant rainfall during winter and spring, which helps to nourish the vines throughout the dry but cool summers. The Pinot Noir grapes are Clones MV6 and D5V12, which vary in age from 15 to 25 years. They are cane-pruned VSP trained, which suits the terroir of Duplex grey loam over yellow clay. In each vintage, precision viticulture is used to map and isolate the finest parcels from the best blocks and even the best rows. Such practices include innovative soil and canopy mapping technology known as EM38, which enables the viticulture team to unearth microvariations within the parcels. The vineyard is manually harvested.
