Planting of Northfield Vineyard began in 2003 with 4,000 Chardonnay 95 on SO4, 5,000 Cabernet Franc Clone 327 on 3309, and 4,000 Pinot Gris 52 on 3309.

We were intending to plant Gamay in this vineyard, however, in transit from Europe the vines apparently fell off the boat and were lost at sea! They were last seen heading for the ocean floor.

The 1,000 replacement Gamay Noir vines 375 on SO4 arrived in 2004 and finished off the Northfield plantings, bringing our total vineyard acreage to 50.
