The Felten Family owns and manages fifteen individual vineyard blocks of “Old Vine” Zinfandel ranging in age from 35 to 117 years old. Each vineyard is planted in sandy loam soils along the Lodi Mokelumne River Region and up into the Clements Foothills.
In 1996, the family began to produce Zinfandel for the bulk wine market, selling wine to a number of prestigious, benchmark producers of Zinfandel in Napa and Sonoma Counties.
In 2000, Steve and Lori made the decision to start their own winery with the mission to produce exceptional Zinfandel. They continue to make wine from all of the vineyard blocks, culling only the very best lots for bottling Klinker Brick and designated vineyard wines. Klinker Brick also produces Petite Sirah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Rosé, and more.
