  • Reviewers will include the Project Team, supplemented, if necessary, by other industry professionals
  • In the event of factual dispute, the Project Team may request documentation
  • If a factual dispute cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the Project Team or the winery/vineyard owner, the vineyard date will be listed as “under review”
  • The Project Team will honor any requests to remove vineyards from the registry

Vineyard Criteria

  • A currently producing California wine vineyard
  • Original planting date at least 50 years ago
  • At least 1/3 of existing producing vines can be traced back to original planting date
