Seaforth Estate wines are made solely
from estate grown fruit from vines
planted in 1994. With views extending
to both Bays, Port Phillip and Western
Port, the vineyard presents a beautiful
setting and Seaforth is among the
highest vineyards on the Peninsula.
This micro climate and the specific
'terroir' are important influences on
fruit quality and the ultimate wine
character and flavour. The 'terroir'
also encompasses the soil type,
which is of volcanic origin. Known as
the Older Basalt, the original surface
rock consists of deep lava flows
poured out
in Lower
Tertiary
times,
possibly
40 million
years ago. It has weathered to form
the rich burgundy soil that gives the
Red Hill district its name. Nine acres
average 3 tons of fruit to the acre and
Seaforth Estate are "true cool climate
wines with a maritime air. Increased
interest in cool climate wines is most
encouraging. We look forward to
more good times ahead. "
- Andrew Adamson
