Reasons to Use Chateau Sinnet Grapes:

•  All of our fruit is hand picked.

•  We pick the fruit when it is ready, not when convenient.

•  We grow under 4 tons to the acre, even though our past contracts allowed for 10 tons per acre.

•  We never over-crop!

•  All of our plants are in their 10^th  to 13^th leaf.

•  We have one of the best vineyard managers in the country, Buster Goodwin.

•  We also have an on-site manager who is certified in growing and applications.

•  Our pickers have been with us for many years and are well trained in the harvesting process.

•  We have owls in their houses and use nets, cannons, scarecrows, water spray, plastic streamers, traps, hand hoes and plastic owls to minimize the use of pesticides.

•  All of our grapes are top clones from UC Davis.

•  Most of our grapes are grown on their own rootstock keeping the grapes true to their own varietals.

•  We have plenty of water, so that has never been an issue.  We cut back on water when we need to, not when we have to.

•  We add two extra people to each picking crew to reduce the amount of mog going into the grapes.

•  They say we pick the cleanest grapes in town.

•  We harvest only when the weather is cool.

•  Our rows are 10 feet apart, allowing us to drive through the vineyard to inspect the grapes on a daily basis.

•  Our varietals are grown 6 feet apart, except for our Zinfandel which is 5 feet, and is head-pruned in the traditional, old-world style.

We have sold wines to the most award winning wineries as well as the biggest.  We would like to sell our premium grapes to you.  Yields may be low on your own vineyards because of the late frost, or you might just want to try another vineyard.

We hand pick everything and pick when the grapes are ripe, not when it is convenient.  The harvest generally begins the first or second week of September and goes into late October.
