Vineyard


Papera Ranch currently has 13.7 acres of vines planted in six blocks. Most blocks are primarily Zinfandel on Saint George rootstock. However, block 6 is an old field blend containing (we believe) twelve varietals as well as a few rows of Zinfandel. The vines are head trained and primarily dry farmed. Most of the vines were planted in 1934.

The roots of the old vines go deep enough to not require irrigation, except in exceptional circumstances when the irrigation system, supplied from a central well, is utilized. In addition to the planted blocks, there is one block yet to be planted. The remaining acreage is taken up with a 3-bedroomed house and associated landscaping.
