DESCRIPTION
We invite you on a journey through our certified organic vineyard with either Chris or Jo, the owners of Windows Estate who single-handedly operate it to this day. Learn about what we feel is the most important part of the winemaking process – the countless hours of vineyard work Chris has invested over the last 20 years. We will talk in detail about a broad range of factors influencing wine quality and style. Soil types and their suitability for different grape varieties, clonal selection, row orientation, pruning techniques along with organic weed and pest management through biodiversity. These are just some of the topics that will be covered, all with the aim of giving you a much deeper understanding of how vineyard management ultimately determines what have you have in the glass in front of you at the end of the day.
Following the walk you will enjoy a private tasting at our cellar door with Stephanie or Maria, accompanied by a local cheese board and utilising Zalto Denkart stemware. Here we connect the dots and show you how the specific particularities of our vineyard and Chris’ decisions with regards to its management shape the character of our wines.
