Emily's Paddock: three hectares of Shiraz including around five percent Cabernet Franc, yielding about two tonnes per hectare (14hL per hectare).
Georgia's Paddock: twelve hectares of Shiraz yielding about three tonnes per hectare (20hl per hectare). Three hectares of Riesling giving about three tonnes per hectare(20 hL per hectare). One hectare each of Semillon planted in 1992, and Nebbiolo planted in 1993, both now bearing.
Both vineyards were mainly planted in 1975/76 and are on their own roots, to retain purity of style, rather than grafted on to Phylloxera-resistant American non-vinifera root stock.
The vines have a sunny, open, balanced canopy that keeps fungal diseases at bay and eliminates the need for summer pruning, leaf plucking and crop reduction. All picking and pruning is carried out by hand by wonderfully skilled people from the district. |
