The relationship with Ashton Hills and the Cemetery Block began in 1998 with a handshake between the late Jim Grigg and Ashton Hills founder Stephen George. The Cemetery Block, now meticulously cared for by his son and daughter-in-law, Jamie and Jenny, is located just down the hill from the Ashton Hills Estate in the Piccadilly Valley and is planted to the MV6 and 114 clones. With a lower altitude and a warmer aspect, it often produces a richer expression of Pinot Noir.
