South-Westerly facing slopes ranging in altitude from 150 – 280 m above sea level allow for moderate temperatures. The vines are trellised on a seven-wire hedge system that allows for perfect containment of the sometimes vigorous growth habit of Syrah. Pruned to two-bud spurs, allowing for 16 – 18 bearers per running meter, we harvest approximately six to eight tons per hectare. This allows for concentrated plum and roasted spice notes so typical of Syrah.
