Description

Vineyard was acquired in payment for back wages owed by the owner when he went bankrupt in the early 1900’s. Miro moved to the property and lived in a tent after the ’06 Quake. The vineyard was originally planted in Carignane in he late 1800’s but was grafted over the mixed blacks in 1910.
