Jardine Vineyard
Jardine Vineyard lies several miles northeast of Huerhuero Vineyard, at the corner of Jardine and Tower roads north of Highway 46 East. Here, the growing conditions are slightly warmer than in some of our other vineyards, appealing particularly to Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc. The soil is composed primarily of alluvial sandy loam, with contributions of gravelly loam and clay loam, ultimately ensuring excellent drainage for low vine vigor and assertive flavor development.
