Vineyard | Grown at the Cable Station Road vineyard located in the Awatere Valley, the soils here are comprised of sandy loams with a proportion of clay particles over a gravel subsoil. These soils naturally promote vine health but restrict vine vigour due to stony sub soils resulting in intense fruit character.
