Windmill Hill 2

Block Name: Rainbow Pinot Gris (upper)

Variety: Pinot Gris

Clone: unknown

Year Planted: 1985

Trellis Type: Single High Wire

Soil: Volcanic

Fun Fact: The fruit notes expressed by this Pinot Gris on the volcanic soil are usually more of the stone fruit variety while the fruit notes expressed by the Pinot Gris on the marine sedimentary soil are more citrus-like. By planting this block across the two soil types we are able to add complexity into the finished wine.
