Other White

White wine grape · reported 2000–2021

Other White is CDFA's catch-all category for white wine grapes too minor or unidentified to be reported as a named variety. It shows up in the atlas's data across 319 district-years and 22 crop years, from 2000 through 2021, with no acreage figure attached, evidence that a meaningful volume of white fruit crushed in California each year is simply never assigned to a specific grape in the state's own reporting, and instead gets grouped together under this single administrative label.

What kind of grape this is

Other White is a reporting category rather than a grape — CDFA sums the varieties too small to name individually under it. There is no botanical identity to publish for a heading, and inventing one would turn a sum into a cultivar.

What is published

Counts describe what this atlas holds for Other White, not what California grows. A zero is a published answer: it means the source names the grape and reports nothing under it, or does not name it at all.
