Terrace Stone Vineyard is on Hammond Road closer to Renwick. This vineyard has lovely soil that lends itself well to organic viticulture with a deep layer of fine stones mixed with silt and loam over clay. This vineyard is sheltered by trees which aids in vigorous spring growth and provides a unique micro-climate to assist in ripening the fruit, achieving a riper style Sauvignon Blanc.
