Vineyard

St Clair Winery is nestled in the heart of the Mimbres Valley in Deming, New Mexico only 34 mile from the Mexican border. The winery is situated on 15 acres with a 500,000 gallon capacity using state of the art equipment to produce award winning wines with the expertise from our winemakers Florent and Herve Lescombes.

 

Our vineyard is located 47 mile west of Deming, NM with its elevation of 4500 feet creating warm days and cool nights where there is often a difference between day and night temperatures of 30 degrees or more. This climate makes it possible to grow some of the best grapes in New Mexico. Emmanuel Lescombes our viticulturalist manages the day to day operations of our vineyard, producing 7-10 tons of grapes per acre on average. We currently have 180 acres planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Zinfandel, and several other varietals. The vines are planted on 8′ x 5′ spacing which allows over 1000 vines per acre.
