There are 7 different vineyard blocks of Sauvignon Blanc. The Sauvignon Blanc is planted predominately in sandstone soils rich in mineral quartz crystals with a deep underlying clay base, which has a low vigor potential. This low soil potential controls the over vigorous nature of the Sauvignon Blanc variety. Shoot length of 1.4m is easily achieved and the balance of the vineyards comes naturally during the summer. The canopies are managed to create riper flavors but still ensure the minerality found in the terrior.
