Overall it’s a slightly warmer site than the Home Block further North.North West facing, but some is West, some North. Lots of topography changes but onaverage its North West. Looks over towards the Pisa ranges. Heavy Schist based soils.As the label depicts this vineyard is riddled with schist rock, so much so that the PinotNoir is planted on deeper soils than the Riesling and Gris in this vineyard due to thefact that in some parts the mother rock literally is poking out of the top soil.
