About Saucelito Canyon Vineyard

Saucelito Canyon farms some of California's oldest Zinfandel: vines planted in 1880 by English settler Henry Ditmas in a remote fold of the upper Arroyo Grande Valley. Abandoned for decades, the original three acres of head-trained, dry-farmed vines were rediscovered and painstakingly restored by Bill Greenough starting in 1974, and the ancient plants still produce fruit nearly a century and a half after planting.

The Greenough family continues to farm the historic block along with newer plantings, producing old-vine Zinfandel of unusual elegance for the variety, along with small lots of other estate wines. A tasting room on Highway 227 in the Edna Valley pours the wines within sight of the family's other vineyards, while the original 1880 vineyard remains tucked in its secluded canyon.

Three acres of 1880 Zinfandel, abandoned and reborn under the Greenough family, still bearing fruit in a hidden Arroyo Grande canyon.
