Vineyard

The property is adjacent to other successful vineyard operations. Those in close proximity include Stringy Brae Wines, Skillogallee Wines, Jeanneret Wines, Kilikanoon and Mitchell Cellars. All are situated on the western side of the Clare Hills, which form the North Mount Lofty Ranges. The elevation of the property ranges from approximately 440m to 530m above sea level which is above average for the Clare district. The land is undulating, with moderate rises through to gentle valley landscapes. The aspects vary, but in the main fall away to the north with resultant northerly and easterly aspects dominant.

The property's water supply comprises surface catchment and sub-artesian bores. The Spring Gully region of the Clare Valley has a reliable rainfall exceeding 625mm (25") each year. Dams with 15.5 Ml capacity have been constructed. The dams are filled by water drawn from the two winter flowing watercourses, which dissect and adjoin the vineyard. Temperature ranges are conducive to the production of premium wine grapes as evidenced by the Clare Valley's reputation for the production of high quality, premium wine.
