Phillip & Judy share the responsibilities involved with operating Angas Plains Estate vineyard as this is where all the fruit is grown that is crushed to produce our wines.
The property is on the old flood plains of the Angas River which is now dry
for most of the year, this little waterway meanders through the country side in
the G.I. Region of Langhorne Creek and flows into Lake Alexandrina in a wet year.
The combination of the deep alluvial sandy loam and mild climate provides
ideal growing conditions to enable us to grow grapes which can mature peak
fruit ripeness to ensure full flavoured wines can be produced.
We have endeavored to set the vineyard up in such a way that we use
minimum water and increase the organic matter in the soil when possible to
reduce evaporation and ensure the vines are nurtured and grow in balance. |
