OLIVE GROVES

Planted in 1999 the olive grove has a tough time of it, sitting on an exposed hill across the valley from our 195 vineyard. The soils are shallower and less fertile and winds from all directions batter the trees. Working hard against these elements, the trees annually produce small parcels of fruit, which are hand-picked, cold pressed and settled in our cellars until blending. Our four varieties Frantoio, Corregiolo, Nevadillo de Blanco and The Unknown are kept separate until this stage at which point critical tasting is conducted to create anywhere up to three individual blends.

Our olive oil is used extensively in the kitchen of our cellar door as part of our seasonal menu. It is also available for tasting and purchase in the cellar door. You can also contact us to order your oil and we will happily arrange delivery. Morning Sun Olive Oil comes beautifully bottled in two sizes, the 250 ml ($15) and the 500ml ($25).
