Derived from Cambrian-period basaltic rock estimated at 500–600 million years old, these unusually deep, rusty-red, gravelly loams are well drained while retaining moisture. Their location within a narrow strip between two north-south faults contributes to a complex mineral composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eJasper Hill’s original block of Georgia’s Paddock Shiraz was planted in 1975, with additional vines planted in 1987.
