First plantings commenced in Spring of 1997. Pinot noir clones comprise mainly 5, 6, 10/5 and B115. The B115 is grafted on a suitable rootstock while the other three clones are all planted on their own roots. At the time of writing most of the pinot noir is approaching ten years of age and the bulk of the pinot gris and riesling, having been planted a year later, approaches nine. Pinot gris and riesling occupy approximately 1 hectare each, and the pinot noir covers almost 5 and 1/2 hectares.
New plantings of Clone Abel will add to the complexity of the Pinot Noir in due course. These plantings were added in 2007 and 2008.
