Our third vineyard, the Isabella Vineyard, was planted in 2002.

This vineyard is interesting as it is the only one of our vineyards planted with a north face. Theoretically, a north facing vineyard will experience later than average bud break in the spring and this proved to be a valuable advantage. In 2005 when we experienced a late spring frost that caused severe primary frost damage for most vineyards in The County. Isabella Vineyard suffered the least damage as the buds had not broken at that time. An inversion fan was installed in this and other vineyards in 2006, providing protection from both spring and fall frosts.

Isabella Vineyard produced the Pinot Noir used in our first vintage of traditionally fermented sparkling wine; it was blended with Chardonnay from the Victoria Block.

Isabella Vineyard is comprised of 5,000 Pinot Gris vines clone 52 on SO4 and Pinot Noir, clone 667 on 41 B.
