The estate vineyard is close planted (3472 vines per hectare at 2.4m by 1.2 m), from the sunny north-facing slopes down to the flats alongside Wilyabrup Brook. Annual spur pruning brings each vine down to two main branches while shoot-thinning, foliage reduction and fruit tasting make for intensive hands-on work throughout the growing season. Principles of sustainability and respect for the soil and environment govern the management of this and each of the other Brookland Valley vineyards.
