The fruit for The Brunette comes from a truly unique vineyard site on top of Moppa Hill, on a moderate incline ranging from around 340m to 380m altitude and faces east, perfect for catching the morning sun. Planted with 1654 Shiraz clone to approximately 2 hectares. The soils are lean red clays with seams of ironstone – brunette in color – which produce optimum conditions for dark, savory fruits and fine, structured tannins.
