Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
