VINEYARD HISTORY
Dumaresq Valley Vineyard was established in 1997 Plantings: Some viticultural aspects of Dumaresq Valley Vineyard include: cold frosty winters, lengthy sunlight periods, warm growing seasons with cool fresh nights. Vines planted on a hillside with a northern exposure intercepting an abundance of sunlight. Soils consist of clay mingled with trap rock. All of this with carefully selected clone varieties enhances the quality of wine. Dumaresq Valley Vineyard's first vintage consists of Chardonnay 2001 and Shiraz 2001. Our range of vines are not only French origin but also of Italian and Spanish origin such as specially selected varieties of Barbera and Tempranillo (available in future vintages). |
