In addition to their Freestone land, the Clearys have two other nearby sites in various stages of vineyard development. The first is a 3.7 acre parcel that has been in Sue's family since the 1950s. Starting in '98, 2.2 acres of that property have been developed as Pinot Noir vineyards using 4' by 4' spacing and Dijon clones 114, 115, 667, and 777. The property is located on Dupont Road off the Harrison Grade in the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River , another ideal area for Pinot Noir growth.
The second piece of land, which was just recently acquired by the Clearys, is fairly close to their existing Dupont Road property. Of a total 14 acres, it is expected that 5-7 acres can be developed as vineyards due to the dimensions of the parcel. With fantastic slopes and fine, sandy Goldridge loam soils, this is another ideal site for Burgundian varietals. |
