Malibu-Newton Canyon AVA
Malibu-Newton Canyon is an American Viticultural Area (AVA) located in western Los Angeles County, California, in the Malibu area . It was established as the nation's 129th, the state's 76th and the county's initial appellation on June 13, 1996 by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Treasury after reviewing the petition submitted by Mr. George Rosenthal, President of Rancho Escondido, Inc., proposing a viticultural area to be named "Malibu-Newton Canyon." The AVA lies entirely within Newton Canyon, a mountain basin that sits just below Castro Peak, one of the highest elevations located on the oceanside of the Santa Monica Mountains. The bowl-shaped canyon is what distinguishes Malibu-Newton Canyon from the surrounding areas. Vineyards currently within the area are only located on the Rosenthal – The Malibu Estate. The Estate is a 250 acres (100 ha) property entirely within the Malibu-Newton Canyon viticultural area where approximately 25 acres (10 ha) are cultivating premium winegrapes. Varietials include Cabernet Savignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Petite Verdot.
