Today, 14.73 Hectares of vines are planted on the estate including: 7.57 Hectares of Shiraz (Kalmina 3C, 1654, BVRC30, BVRC31, BVRC12, R7EV13); 0.55 Hectares of Semillon (BVRC32); 1.55 Hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon (G9V3, G9V4); 2.42 Hectares of Grenache (BVRC139, BVRC140, BVRC38); 1.54 Hectares Mataro (BVRC138, BVRC139); and 1.1 Hectares of Riesling (BVRC61). Josh (former Henschke winemaker) took an interest in the vineyard and influenced Martin to convert to organic practices in 2013 and biodynamic practices in 2017. We now employ a traditional Barossa method of controlling weeds under vine by dodging out, hilling back on, and knifing through the roots of young weeds to ensure that the soil microbiology stays as healthy as possible. We use 500, 501, soil activator and nettle tea in our biodynamic program.
