OUR VINEYARDS

Simply put, viticulture refers to the science of growing grapes and it is during this process that great wines are made. At each stage from pruning through budburst, flowering, veraison and harvest, attention to detail is maintained. We take great pleasure in tending our vineyards to ensure that optimum quality and ripeness is achieved each vintage.

Morning Sun has two vineyards located 1km apart along Main ridge at 195 and 337 Main Creek Road. Both plantings run down the east side of the ridge facing the morning sun. The east aspect allows for early morning warming of the vineyards without direct exposure to the harsh afternoon sunlight. This creates a long, even ripening period each day, ideal for the cool climate varieties of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio. Along with these main varieties, we have tiny plantings of Semillon, Reisling and Gewurtztraminer.
