Stoney Rise: The vineyard, planted to 3 hectares of Pinot Noir and 1 hectare of Chardonnay was established in 1986.The Stoney Rise range is all about drinkability. The Pinot Noir goes into the oldest oak we have, for less than twelve months. 50% of the Chardonnay is fermented in new French oak barriques before being bottled early to retain its freshness. The Holyman range of wines are the wines that we hope get to be cellared. The Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are both fermented using “wild” yeast. The Chardonnay spends all of it’s time in new French oak, while 25% of the Pinot Noir goes into new oak for maturation. These wines are made to show our passion for the grapes we grow and will reward with time in the cellar.
