[2002-Napa California] headquartered Robert Mondavi Winery
placed their Santa Maria valley regional winery and 1,400 acres
on the market. Mondavi selected Al D. Mendrin of Fresno, California
based, London Properties, Ltd., as the listing agent for the
$38.45 million Santa Barbara County property.
The "original" Byron
Winery, which is 18 years old, is being sold because Mondavi
constructed a new, larger Byron facility in 1996. The Byron "label"
is not part of the sale.
The vineyard acreage being
sold consists of three ranches: (Nielson with 350+/- acres; Sierra
Madre with 750+/- acres; and Garey with 358 +/- acres). There
are approximately 1,000 acres planted to vineyards, and over
700 acres of the vines have been developed to resistant rootstocks
between 1997-2000.
"Mondavi will continue
to maintain a strong presence in the Central Coast wine industry.
We farm and contract with growers on over 13,400 acres of vineyards
located on the California Central Coast" said Andy Bledsoe,
Mondavi's Vice President of Winegrower Relations. "This
is an excellent property" added Al D. Mendrin, the agent
overseeing the marketing of the property. "We are offering
a variety of ways to purchase this property by the ranch, in
sections or as a complete property."
"The Santa Maria AVA region
is one of the coolest wine growing regions in California, capable
of producing high end, 'luxury' price points wines over $25 per
bottle truly quality properties" concluded Mendrin.
