Grapes and growing conditions

What is planted

The source lists Pinot Noir as planted here. A linked wine may use one of these grapes or a blend.

Soil and vine spacing

Recorded soil: Bannockburn-series deep silt loams, with lake-bed clays, quartz sands, quartz and schist gravels, surface loess and calcium carbonate at depth. Geology: Fine tertiary lake-bed sediments with quartz and schist alluvium.

The description contains both coarse and finer material, so drainage and water storage may change between layers or blocks rather than behaving as one uniform soil.

Planting density: 4,667 vines/ha.. This describes how closely the vines are spaced.

A soil name is not a bulk-density measurement. BottlePicker only shows soil bulk density where a laboratory or modelled value exists. Texture interpretation follows USDA NRCS soil-water guidance.

Seasonal heat

Pinot Noir: Cool-climate example; typically 1,800–2,500 growing degree days on the °F scale, equivalent to about 1,000–1,390 °C-days accumulated above a 10°C base.

Heat bands use Oregon State University Extension. The OIV climate method treats growing-season temperature as accumulated heat above 10°C, not a fixed daily target.

Site conditions

Elevation: 216–224 m.

Aspect: Gentle, sheltered north-facing slope.

Irrigation: Estate irrigation policy: monitored and used only when required.
