Vineyards
The Chardonnay at Fonty's Pool Vineyard is a Gingin clone grown on ironstone gravelly loams associated with the native marri and jarrah eucalypts (these soils promote less vigour than the more common karri loams of the region.) The fruit was sourced from two blocks - Chinaman's, planted in 1989 and Victoria's, planted in 1997.Vines are spaced at 2200/hectare and spur pruned on a bilateral cordon. Shoots are trained vertically between wires on a 1.8m trellis. Mechanical and hand leaf removal on the eastern rows occurred in early January, along with some bunch thinning in the younger vines. The deep soils required only minimal irrigation to encourage balanced vine growth and physiological development.

Winemaker Notes Bright deep garnet in colour; intense aromas of lifted raspberry, cherry liqueur fruits mixed with toasty charry oak over a brooding layer of smoked meats. Juicy dark cherries are complemented with supple mouth filling tannins. A savoury backbone and a charry oak edge underlie a tightly structured wine which finishes long and clean. Drink now or in 3-5 years Vineyards The year 2001 saw two new clones of pinot noir come on stream adding to the already mature 'Droopy' clone at Fonty's Pool Vineyard. All the clones are grown on ironstone gravelly loams associated with the native marri and jarrah eucalypts . The original pinot noir vines were planted in 1989, whilst the two new clones were planted in 1997 and 1999 with all vines spaced at 3.0 x 1.5 metres and either spur or cane pruned on a bilateral cordon. Shoots are trained vertically between wires on a 1.8 m trellis. Extensive hand positioning of shoots, selective leaf removal on the eastern aspect of rows and bunch thinning is practiced. The deep soils require irrigation to be used only sparingly to encourage balanced vine growth and physiological development. (12 x 75 cl)
