The South Slope begins at the highest elevation and the furthest South of all of their Vineyards blocks. It slopes from South to North about 45 feet and it’s soils are predominantly sandy loam. The berry size is medium with a high berry count giving cluster weight that has yields approaching 2 1/4 tons/acre (their highest yields).
It is 100% French clone 777, and tends to show it’s earthy side far more then their other clones.
Although this wine definitely has a French origin, each year it becomes more and more new world.
