The Vineyard
With soils varying from
sandy loam along the river bank to rich red clay on the slopes, the Pyramid
Hill vineyard is able to match each grape variety to its favourite soil
type. By giving the vines the environment they like best, we are able to
carefully craft and control their foliage growth to let just the right
amount of sunlight reach the fruit.
Technology
But while the natural resources of the
vineyard provide the basis of our management, we also allow the latest
technology to play its part downloading constantly into the office computer
is detailed weather and environmental data linked with continuous electronic
measurement of moisture levels at different depths in the vineyard soils.
Armed with this data, and
having the added benefit of a fully computerized irrigation system, we have
total control over irrigation application and full knowledge of the
micro-climate in each block of vines. All this adds up to a higher quality
of fruit which in turn means a higher quality of wine in each bottle of
