SPECIAL NOTES
Thistle Hill is a neighboring vineyard that Cória Estates planted and managed for several years, though it does not own the property. It is named as such because before it was planted, the hillside was covered in Thistle patches. It is one of the highest peaks in our area and has a steep slope facing all four directions, North, South, East and West. The label is a topographic map of the hillside.
