Clone Candle Collection
What are grape Clones?
A grape clone is a cutting taken from an existing grapevine grafted onto rootstock. The chosen vines have specific traits a grower wants to reproduce, like increased disease resistance or fruit quality. Because this cutting came directly from another vine rather than the result of two plants crossbreeding, the cutting is genetically identical to its “mother vine.” - Wine Enthusiast
Clones 327, 400, & 595 originate from France. You can find these clones in the Bordeaux region of France. So, we are growers of Bordeaux grapes in Sonoma County, CA. While we didn’t go to France to obtain these clones, we sourced them from local grapevine nurseries in Sonoma County & Central Valley.
Meet the Clones
-
We planted Malbec clone 595 in 2021. These plants are two years old and expected to start producing grapes in 2023. We look forward to sharing a bottle of red or blend with you!
-
Our Clone 7 is a reference to our Clone 7 Chardonnay grapes. These grapes were the first grapes available at L.F.V. This candle fills the room with scents of bergamot, grapefruit, and citrus. We planted these vines in 1978 and then grafted them to Cabernet Franc in 2019.
-
After our 2019 harvest, we grafted our chardonnay grapes to clone 327 Cabernet Franc grapes. We chopped off the chardonnay vines' heads and t-budded with Cab Franc. These plants are thriving in their newly converged organic vineyard.
-
We planted petit Verdot clone 400 in 2022. Just this year! While these plants are only a year old, we expect them to begin producing grapes in 2024.

Our vineyards are alongside historic Highway 128 in Sonoma County, California. This landmark highway is home to Alexander Valley and runs through other AVA’s like Sonoma West Coast.
