Willow Bridge vineyard is sited high on the western watershed (280m) of the Ferguson River, with spectacular views over the coastal plains.
The vineyard is 25km from the coast as the crow flies, and receives the cooling afternoon sea breeze during summer. Due to its elevation, the warm days are moderate and more forgiving.
The vines are planted on the top of the ridge line, which helps to avoid the likelihood of spring frosts.
Importantly, the region is phylloxera free and this has enabled the vineyard to be planted on its own roots.
Deep red clay loams with granite gravels form the basis of soil composition.
In places, the vineyard actually has granite stones protruding through the surface. To maximise the wine growing potential of this distinct terrain, specific varieties have been selected for planting. These include Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
