Owned by Jon and Laura Jennison and farmed by Andy Humphrey, this is an east facing site in the hills of Dundee.  All of our Wadensvil Clone is sourced from this site.  Wadensvil has become an extremely difficult clone to locate due to the proliferation of the so-named Dijon Clones.  Wadensvil is known to have more of a perfumed nose and is more texture driven than other Pinot Noir clones.
