Vineyard Notes
We mapped the Old Quarter to reveal very specific parcels of vines that are unique in their geologies. We call these Polygons, with each being on predominantly limestone, schist or clay bases. The characteristics of Old Quarter are underpinned by the intense Grenache from Polygon 4 which consists of schist and clay that is complemented with the lighter material from Polygon 2 on hard schist and wind blown limestone. These components were blended with the Mataro from P6 and the Shiraz from P8 and P7. NASAA certified organic and biodynamic.
