Terroir

• Entire 5 ha demarcation sits on ancient slate subsoil, echoing nearby Delabole slate quarry.
• Western and southern boundaries are defined by a sharp change to alluvial sand — the old River Camel riverbed.
• Northern limit is set by a thermal band: land above it falls outside the optimum growing zone.
• Eastern boundary excluded where slope flattens and aspect shifts slightly east of south, reducing solar gain.

• Ancient slate subsoil defines the demarcated 5 ha site, with alluvial sand boundaries excluding areas of different thermal and drainage character.
