Clay Shannon is a brand that's part of the amazing Shannon Family of Wines.
Every bottle of Shannon Family wine is a celebration of Lake County’s bounty. We’re proud to share with you a taste of the place we call home.
Our Lake County mountain vineyard estate is situated at an altitude of 2,200 feet above sea level in the mountains of the North Coast of California. This rugged terrain is characterized by ancient volcanic soils, steep elevation and more recently warmer summers and cooler winters. This demanding environment creates the perfect conditions to produce wines with exceptional character.
High Valley AVA
It can be said that peak flavors come from peak vineyards. Located in the Coastal Ranges of northeastern Lake County, the High Valley AVA rises between 1,600 and 3,000 feet in elevation, providing desirable conditions for our finest mountain fruit. Here, grapes enjoy a longer ripening season, resulting in complex and intense varietal character not found anywhere else on earth.
Our Project Ovis is the transformation of our 1,000-acre Lake County California mountain vineyard estate into a completely sustainable, regenerative organic farming system. It is our reimagining of viticulture and winemaking to address the effects of climate change. Our efforts are both holistic and dynamic, combining carbon sequestering practices with permaculture initiatives and energy efficiency applications. We are pioneering change and setting industry standards in an ongoing effort to improve the way we treat the planet and its swiftly dwindling resources.
