St Macaire
Red wine grape · reported 2023–2025
St. Macaire is one of Bordeaux's nearly vanished old red grapes, historically part of the region's traditional blending palette before falling out of favor there; it now survives mainly in small plantings outside France. It is a very recent entrant to California's CDFA reports, appearing in the crush series only since 2023 and already spread across three districts. No bearing acreage has yet been recorded. Volumes reached 89.6 tons crushed statewide in 2025, with prices between about $1,537 and $2,226 a ton — modest but notable for so short a reporting history.
What is published
Counts describe what this atlas holds for St Macaire, 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.
