Rombauer Vineyards has acquired a Renwood Winery production facility in Amador County, US, including 20 acres of vineyards and a tasting room.

Located at 12225 Steiner Road in Plymouth, California, the facility will allow Romauer to grow its Zinfandel grapes.

Following the acquisition, the Renwood Winery brand and Renwood Ranch Vineyard will continue to be owned by its existing proprietors Argentine investment group  Ren Acquisitions and marketed by Pacific Highway Wine & Spirits.

The founder of Rombauer Vineyards Koerner Rombauer began farming grapes and making wines in the mid-1990s.

“My dad loved the Sierra Foothills and always envisioned Rombauer crafting more wine from this outstanding grape-growing region.”

Rombauer Vineyards currently owns 148 acres of land, which is mostly planted with Zinfandel.

Rombauer Vineyards’ second-generation proprietor KR Rombauer said: “My dad loved the Sierra Foothills and always envisioned Rombauer crafting more wine from this outstanding grape-growing region.

“In fact, he attempted to acquire this very property in 2011. I am sorry Koerner isn’t here today to see the purchase come to fruition but I know he would be extremely pleased.”

Rombauer Vineyards owns more than 670 acres of vineyards in several California appellations, including Atlas Peak, Stags Leap, Carneros, Calistoga, St. Helena and the Sierra Foothills.

The tasting room at the former Renwood winery will close until Rombauer Vineyards reopens it under the Rombauer Vineyards brand in April 2019.
