Cameron, Chardonnay - Clos Electrique 2006 The estate vineyard located at the winery consists of 2 acres of Pinot noir, 1.5 acres of Chardonnay and 0.5 acres of Nebbiolo. Each block of grapes is planted to multiple clones. This technique increases the complexity of the resulting wines as well as giving the vineyard greater resilience in the face of various climatic and biological impediments. Most of the Pinot noir clones were planted in 1984 but new clones have been added along the way, further increasing the vitality and complexity of the vineyard. The Clos Electrique Blanc section was originally planted to several clones of Chardonnay in 1987 but has been further diversified along the way with the addition of Dijon clones of Chardonnay as well as Pinot blanc. A small portion of the experimental block of Nebbiolo was originally planted in 1994 to 2 clones of that grape. By 1999 we were convinced that we could successfully grow Nebbiolo in this location and so started grafting and planting further sections of the vineyard. Since the vines are not irrigated, we do not expect to have commercial quantities available until the 2005 or 2006 vintages.

Clos Electrique is farmed organically which means that we use elemental sulfur during the growing season to prevent growth of powdery mildew and use copper hydroxide and leaf removal in the vicinity of grape clusters to inhibit botrytis. Insect pests are generally kept in check by cultivation of predatory insects with integrated cover crops. This is one of the warmer vineyard sites in the Red Hills of Dundee and usually is harvested during the second half of September. Yields of the "rouge" average 1.5 tons per acre (20.5 hl/hectare) while the "blanc" generally yields 2.0 tons per acre (27 hl/hectare).
