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, appealing particularly to Petite Sirah and Sauvignon Blanc. The soil is composed primarily of alluvial sandy loam, ultimately ensuring excellent drainage for low vine vigor and assertive flavor development.
