Road 13 Vineyards

Mick and Pam were initially enticed by Road 13’s scenic setting. Through research and an association with viticulture consultant, Richard Cleave, it quickly became clear that the area known as the “Golden Mile” is a unique terroir. The two vineyards that surround the winery, Home Vineyard and Castle Vineyard, are situated on east-facing sloped benches up against mountains. The two locations have slightly different soil conditions and are healthy farms that feature hard ground with high mineral content, high moisture and nutrient-holding capacity, and an open southeast exposure that provides all-day, extended sunlight. The slopes provide excellent cold air drainage, protecting the vines from winter frost damage.
