Soil Type
Noticeable here is the famous red South Devon soil. An iron rich, volcanic sandy loam soil that offers good drainage and restricted nutrients. Not too far beneath is a bed of shillet (shale on clay) pushed up by the volcanic tuffs you can see on the river trail. This unique soil composition plays a huge part in the final flavour outcome of our wines.
