*Grower Planted Acres 

Total Planted Acres​
Land qualifies as a “vineyard” at the time grapevines are planted with the intention of commercial production.  A vineyard that is removed for the purpose of replanting continues to qualify so long as grapevines are replanted within two years of the date of removal. If the land is left fallow or out of production for longer than 2 years, it is not counted toward a grower's total planted acres. 
Leased Acres
If the Grower has control of a vineyard through a lease that provides for cultural control of the vineyard for a term of ten (10) years or more and is using it for business purposes, then those acres count as part of a grower's total planted acres.
