Soil: Well-drained and lightly-structured Clovelly and Avalon 100% Dry-land management. Vines are planted 1.4m apart to avoid density as Semillon can be vigorous in growth. Intensive leaf and shoot management in October allows for even ripeness and enables shade for fruit concentration development. This is one of GlenWood's award winning vineyards.

Yield: 8.8 tons per hectare.

Using only wild yeast, fermentation occurred over a two month period. The wine spent 15 months on the lees. Only 2nd and 3rd fill small French oak barrels were used. Sauvignon Blanc component blended in before
bottling.
