Scribe Winery Estate Sonoma Valley Misson 2021

The Mission vines are planted in Scribe estate vineyard on the southwest-facing slope of Arrowhead Mountain in the Southern Mayacama volcanic mountain range. The Mission vines were planted in 2017, from plant-material propagated from cuttings from vines planted in the late 1880s in Central California. Their lineage as well as their presence at the Scribe Estate are an homage to the earliest days of California winegrowing history. The Mission grape was the first European grapevine cultivated in California but has been rarely planted post-prohibition. It thrived on the estate in the 1800s, and letters from that time detailing the quality of the Mission wines from this property, were recently discovered. In the spirit of curiosity and exploration, 0.8 hectares of Mission vines have been planted in front of the Hacienda to explore its potential in the new era. The vines are cultivated sustainably and are hand harvested in the cool of the night.
