Affleck

Affleck is owned by the Hendry family, the name a corruption of the Scottish achadh-nan-leac, which means field of stones, a property in Scotland occupied by the Hendry family for more than 250 years. The vineyard is planted to 0.5ha each of chardonnay, pinot noir and shiraz. It is situated on the shale of the Lake George Escarpment, at an altitude of 800m. Picking takes place around April/May, firmly putting it in the cool climate brigade. -JAMES HALLIDAY
