Rocky Horror 2
Rocky Horror 2 is located 4 km from Rocky Horror 1 and was planted in 1997. Like Rocky Horror 1, the site was also dotted with massive subsurface boulders. This time the rocks were crushed, mixed with organic matter and fertiliser and added back to the soil. The vines thrived in this fertile environment, and within five years the fruit was already full of flavour.
