Handal Family Vineyard


Parcel Size: 50+ acres

Zoning: Land Intensive Agriculture (LIA), 20 acre minimum parcel size.The subject property is in an Agricultural Preserve.

PhysicalFeatures The property is slightly irregular in shape and is positioned on slightly sloping to flat river bottom terrain. Approximately 42.44 net acres are developed to vineyard. The remainder of the property consists of vineyard service roads, staging area, reservoir, reservoir drainage and riparian habitat near the Russian River. The property has views over the surrounding vineyards and of the surrounding native grass and tree covered hills.

Utilities: Electric power is developed to the agricultural well. Phone service is available along River Road. The property has been percolation tested and at the time of the test was found to have adequate percolation for a 3 bedroom home with the use of an engineered mound system. Updated testing will need to be done.

Water Sources: A 250 gallon per minute onsite well and an 11 acre foot reservoir provide agricultural water. The well provides direct vineyard irrigation (drip line) and reservoir recharge. Reservoir water is used for overhead sprinkler frost protection and heat control. Water is drawn from the reservoir by a diesel fueled engine with pump and filter system. The pumping system is reported adequate to frost protect the entire vineyard. Based on a standard overhead sprinkler usage rate of 55 gpm per acre, and a six hour per day use, the reservoir has the capacity to overhead frost protect the entire vineyard for approximately four days without recharge. With the use of the Ag well for recharge, the reservoir capacity would be extended two to four days. Division of Water Rights License number 11533, Sonoma County Official Records Number 84-43330, allows for the diversion and storage of 14 acres feet of water per annum from an unnamed stream for the purpose of irrigation, heat control and frost protection.

Vineyard Details There are approximately 42.44 net acres planted to vineyard. The varietals planted are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Zinfandel and Petite Sirah.
