About Mainini Vineyard
Located on border of Southern Monterey County & Northern San Luis Obispo County. Monterey County Appellation. Elevation to 1130 ft. Calcareous soil. Prime, head-pruned, dry-farmed. Wide diurnal swing, with a bit hotter and a bit cooler temperatures than San Miguel. Spacing 6X12, 605 vines per acre. 14 A. (1 A. trellised). Isolated location, good air-flow, all hand picked and pruned. Vineyard developed & planted in 2000, for Kent Rosenblum of Rosenblum Cellars; his choice of varietals and clones; with Richard Sauret (vineyard mgr. for 5 years), who laid-out the vineyard. Kent wanted another vineyard with these clones and varietals in this area, due to fruit-forward quality of grapes. Approx. 5 A. Zinfandel - Clones; St. Peter's Church, Sauret, and 1 A. St Charles. Approx. 8 A. Petite Sirah- Clones: Rockpile and Palisades. Most vines field grafted with wood from original vineyards. Had 10 year contract with Rosenblum. Interested in long-term contract.
