MT TEHAMA WINERY

Mount Tehama Vineyard is located in Manton, CA, a tiny little town near Redding. Alain Teutschmann is originally from Geneva, Switzerland. As an adult, he moved to Afghanistan where he sold Middle Eastern antiques to collectors in Europe and the US. As the political scene became increasingly unstable, he moved to Manton, where he had vacationed years before. When he first bought his property, he was told that it was only good for two things, growing Christmas trees or grapes. He grew Christmas trees until 2005 and planted his first grapes, four acres of Syrah, in 2000. His original idea was to sell his grapes to a Vineyard but finding that difficult, he decided to open his own. Over the next several years, he planted more Syrah and Petite Syrah. He currently has 5,600 vines of Syrah and Petite Syrah over 10 acres. He produces Petite Sirah, Shiraz, and Chardonnay...
