Soho Family Vineyards
Tucked into the hillside of the Onetangi Valley on Waiheke, the north-west facing aspect of the Carter Vineyard is protected from the cold Southerly winds. The marginal clay soils help to delay ripening, retain acidity, and intensify the flavours. The average vine age
is now approximately 18 years, the depth and richness from which is reflected in the wines. The vineyard is dry-farmed and the gentle slopes help with run-off in wetter seasons.
In the vineyard, no expense is spared in the interests of wine quality. All viticultural work is done by hand from winter pruning, through shoot thinning and leaf plucking to harvesting. Naturally low yielding, each block is carefully assessed for balance and fruit is often dropped to the ground, so the vines can put all their energy to ripening fewer bunches
