After lenghty discussions and exhaustive planning with our viticulturist, Johan Wiese, the rootstock, cultivar and clone were selected for the best site, the blocks were market out, irrigation installed, and planting began. No block is bigger than one hectare. This allows careful monitoring and conopy management to each block throughout the growing season and at harvest time each block can then be vinified seperately. |
