Transform your new understanding of the landscape into meaningful outcomes. North Slope has the experience to translate your geographic analysis into actionable viticulture. The digital design process also facilitates seamless communication with third parties such as irrigation or development contractors.

The evolution of SeVein began centuries ago with cataclysmic earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, epic floods, and wind-borne soil deposits. A world-class estate vineyard starts with a vision that accepts and builds upon these natural strengths. After helping select a parcel that meets the property owner’s objectives, the SeVein owners and staff will be available to offer their 75 years of tried and tested vineyard design experience.

Precision GPS Surveying
A geographic evaluation by North Slope begins with a precision GPS survey, mapping your property to an accuracy of less than one foot. Vineyard blocks, structures, irrigation features and landmarks are identified and combined with a grid elevation survey to create a complete narrative of your unique terroir.

Contour Mapping
An accurate contour map is the foundation of a comprehensive understanding of your vineyard geography. A North Slope elevation survey will produce significantly more accurate topographic detail than the commonly available 10-meter maps.

Topographic Analysis
Advanced slope and aspect analyses, possible with the high-precision GPS survey, provide detailed insight into your vineyard geography. Make educated decisions regarding critical features such as row orientation and varietal placement, to maximize your productive acreage.
