Scheid Family Wines announce its first ever harvest of organically certified wine grapes. The Petite Sirah grapes were harvested from Scheid’s White Flower Vineyard located in the Hames Valley AVA in southern Monterey County. It marks the first step in Scheid’s organic certification plan of transitioning all of its vineyard holdings to organic farming.
While Scheid Family Wines has been sustainably certified on 100% of its estate vineyards since 2014, this is the first organic certification for the company. “We are excited about our first harvest of organically certified wine grapes and even more thrilled that this is just the beginning,” said Greg Gonzalez, Director of Vineyard Operations for Scheid Family Wines. “This marks our initial milestone in organic certification and is the first step on the path of transitioning 100% of our vineyards to organic farming methods by 2025.”
