Vineyard

The soils vary slightly between the two different sites, with theBarossa vineyard being clay loam over clay and the Clare Valley vineyard sandy loam over medium clay that is quite stony with areas of gravel. The soils at depth range from silty clay with decomposed rock at the bottom of the hill to weathered bluestone and slate at the top of the hill.
