Description

The vineyard was acquired in payment for back wages owed by the owner when he went bankrupt in the early 1900s. Miro moved to the property and lived in a tent after the 1906 Earthquake. The vineyard was originally planted to Carignane in the late 1800s but was grafted over to mixed blacks in 1910.
