The Wädenswil vines on the small parcel (just 1 and 1/3 acres) just below the flagpole which greets visitors to the Van Duzer Vineyards produce wines of great nuance that only gets more compelling with time. Planted in 1982, the Flagpole Block was the source of Van Duzer's first vineyard-designate Pinot Noir. Lately it seems that each of Van Duzer’s Block Designates ages according to different physiological clocks. The wait has paid off for Flagpole Block, our Wädenswil-based original Block Designate Pinot Noir.
