This institutional quality vineyard is planted entirely to Pinot Noir varietal grapes located within the Clarksburg AVA and California Grape Pricing District 17. This region has a reputation for consistent high quality grape production due to the Delta growing season climate of warm days and cool nights. High quality irrigation water is lifted from an adjoining district canal and benefits from some of the most secure riparian rights available in California. The vineyard planted in 2013 (81%) and 2019 (19%) is young with mature production and an established history.
Water Information:
The Clarksburg Vineyard is located within the service area of Reclamation District (RD) 999 and provides both surface water and drainage under contract with the North Delta Water Agency (NDWA). The NDWA water supply is equivalent to a confirmed riparian right, one of the most senior water rights available in California. Surface water is accessed by a 50 hp lift pump from the RD-999 canal running along the north property boundary and is distributed to the vineyard by a drip irrigation system. There are no wells, groundwater is typically not utilized or considered a necessary supplemental water supply within the RD-999 / NDWA service area.
