The olive grove was established in 1999 and 7.5ha are now planted to varieties best for olive oil production - the Italians frantoio and corregiolo and the Spanish-bred manzanilla. A small amount of nevadillo blanco and kalamata are also planted. Extra virgin olive oil is produced under the McIvor Estate label and available for purchase in small quantities from cellar door or online. Preserved olives are also available in tubs at cellar door.
The olive grove is set out with row spacings eight metres apart with the spacing between trees at five metres. The grove is managed with minimal inputs and is now dry grown. Each year the olive trees receive some pruning, mainly to develop shape in the trees. |
