Historical Producers

Bush-trained Mission planted on its own roots dating back to the early days of the California wine industry and its birthplace in Los Angeles County. Originally 50 acres, the vineyard has been reduced to just over 2 acres today. The vineyard was abandoned around 1960 and has been growing wild among the sagebrush for the last 60 years. It has been burned to the ground repeatedly in wildfires during that period.
