2024 Grape Harvest Selections Available
This year, the Central Coast Home
Vintners Association Grape Co-op continues to select those vineyards that
consistently offer excellent, award-winning fruit. The vineyards this year are Margarita, Los
Alamos, Goodchild, Valley View, La Presa Vineyard and Pali Vineyard..
Keep in mind that all our grapes are
harvested by hand, which adds a small cost for quality fruit. In addition, CCHVA adds a small surcharge to
the price the vineyards charge to cover the cost of transportation to pick up
the grapes, equipment maintenance, and use of the property for the crush. The CCHVA surcharge did not change.
Pali Vineyard and Margarita Vineyard require a minimum order of 1000
pounds for each varietal. For Lucas and
Lewellen Vineyards has a 500 pound minimum per
varietal.
A
minimum order of 100 pounds is required. As a rule of thumb, 100 pounds will
make 5 to 6 gallons of wine. It is best if you can encourage your wine making
friends to join with you to order a half bin (500 lbs)
or full bin (10000 lbs); however, this is not a
requirement as we are coordinating orders from many areas in California. We
will inform you if the varietal you select does not receive orders of at least
500 /1000 pounds. At that time, you may want to select an alternate
variety. The 500/1000 pound
minimum total order per vineyard and varietal will be strictly followed this
year.
Place your order by August 24th,
2024, to make sure that the vineyard of your choice will be able to
deliver.
A 100% deposit is required by September 1st, 2024.
We will
crush and de-stem the fruit at Vern Veglia s place in Orcutt, Ca, and we will
provide initial measurements of Brix. It
is also recommended that each wine maker also verify all measurements before
starting your fermentation. For those vintners who choose a white grape, we
will provide a press at the time of crush. You will need to provide your own
containers for transporting your grape must or juice to your wine cellar. Due to the number of people involved during
the crush and nature of the equipment, children should not attend the crush.
We are
very thankful to Vern Veglia for the use of his property during the two or
three months of the crush period. Please
respect his property when picking up your order.
Warning: Grapes may be picked
any day of the week.
It is imperative for
you to be available to pick up your grapes on their delivery date. If for any reason you cannot pick-up your
grapes at the time of crush, you are responsible for making
arrangements to take delivery.
The following
information identifies the vineyard, variety code, and price.
Place your order by August 24, 2024.
Along the southernmost reaches of Paso
Robles AVA lies Margarita Vineyard, cradled by the Santa Lucia mountains
just 14 miles from the Pacific Ocean. There are no other vineyards in the
vicinity, so Margarita Vineyard stands alone in benefiting from the remarkable
growing conditions of the surrounding Santa Margarita Ranch AVA. Here,
the vines unfold along a rare diversity of five soil types ancient seabed,
shale, rocky alluvium, granitic and volcanic amid one of Paso Robles' coolest
growing environments. This is the same
vineyard that provides grapes for the Ancient Peaks label.

Lucas & Lewellen Vineyards Goodchild, Los Alamos,
Valley View and La Presa
Los
Alamos Vineyard - Los Alamos Valley
Stretching
for over a mile of Highway 101 frontage just south of the town of Los Alamos,
these vineyards are home to over 20 varieties of grapes, representing the
principal varieties of the Rh ne, Burgundy and
Bordeaux regions of France, as well as Italian varieties. With some of
the vines planted from cuttings brought over from Europe over 25 years ago,
these vineyards have long been a favorite source for many of California's most
acclaimed wineries.
Valley
View Vineyard - Santa Ynez Valley
Sloping
gently toward the Santa Ynez River, the south-facing lower vineyard features
what many consider Santa Barbara County's best Cabernet Sauvignon. The hilltop
vineyard produces outstanding Cabernet Franc and Syrah.
