OUR MOST RECENT PROJECT

Le Bon Climat Vineyard

Santa Maria Valley, California

  • Renowned 83 gross acre vineyard property in the Santa Maria Valley along California’s Central Coast.

  • ● Estate vineyard of the late Jim Clendenen, Santa Barbara County’s most influential winemaker and owner of Au Bon Climat winery.

    ● Clendenen was known for his passion for Burgundian varieties and for helping establish Santa Barbara County’s reputation in winemaking.

  • ● Le Bon Climat is irrigated with 100% groundwater supplied from an onsite well

    ● Existing vineyard infrastructure includes drip lines and overhead sprinklers

    ● The Santa Maria Valley basin is considered “very low priority” in terms of severity by SGMA* regulators and is not critically overdrafted as common in the Central Valley

  • ● Le Bon Climat is composed of loamy soils—a mix of sand, silt, and clay—that are ideal for wine grape production

    ● The Santa Maria Valley is oriented on a transverse (east-west) geography

    ● Cool air off the Pacific Coast funnels

    directly into the Valley, creating a Mediterranean climate

    ● The cool climate makes the grape-growing season in Santa Maria one of the longest in California (125 days on average)
