El Pomar District Shotwell Vineyard

Vineyard

The J. Lohr Shotwell Vineyard is located in the El Pomar District of the Paso Robles AVA. The climate here is a moderate Region II on the Winkler heat accumulation scale, which characterizes it as a quite cool location for late-ripening red varieties. This tightly spaced cordon-trained, spur-pruned planting of Malbec clone 596 is laid out with an 8’ by 4’ vine spacing, and was planted in 2015 on a north-facing slope of calcareous Linne-Calodo soil. The steep slope at this location required the row direction for planting to follow the grade of the hillside in order for our tractors to navigate the steep terrain.
