Understanding Vineyard Soil Health
At Dune Road Vineyard, our journey begins beneath the surface. We sat down with Kane from Red Soil Organics to talk about why soil health is the most critical step in building a vineyard designed to last generations.
Great wine isn't created in the winery, it's created in the ground. The structure, health and composition of the soil influence everything: vine health, grape flavour, and balance in the finished wine.
Organic soil practices help create a living ecosystem beneath the vines, one that will continue evolving year after year. Without understanding soil composition and biology, planting vines is guesswork.
What you're witnessing is the beginning of a story that will unfold over seasons, harvests and years. The vineyard is not yet complete, and that's exactly what makes this journey exciting.
