Soils

Long Gully consists of Lochar soils. These are formed in older fans, and have very weakly developed, thin and wavy clay pans which are deep enough to cause no impediment to roots or drainage. These are well-drained, high pH soils ideally suited to viticulture. They generally have a 30 cm depth of top soil over fine to moderately coarse gravels.

Varieties

Long Gully is 11.5 hectares in size with four varieties planted Pinot Noir (7.62 Ha), Chardonnay (1.76 Ha), Riesling (1.64Ha) and Pinot Gris (0.48). There are five different clones of Pinot Noir planted 5, 6, 10/5, 113 and 115.
