This material is one of a group of Salt Creek selections that originated from a vine at location H98 v8 in the old Armstrong vineyard on the campus of the University of California, Davis. That vineyard was developed and maintained by the Department of Viticulture & Enology at the university. The vine at location H98v8 was planted in the Armstrong vineyard sometime prior to 1950. Prior to 1961, plant material was taken from the vine at H98v8 and put through preliminary index testing at Foundation Plant Services. The material was subsequently planted as Salt Creek 01A in 1961 in the old FPS foundation vineyard west of Hopkins Road (locations A11 v2-13, 15-21 in the old foundation vineyard). In 1964, eight new selections were created from Salt Creek 01A; each new selection was subjected to heat treatment therapy for a different number of days. All eight selections were given a unique selection number (Salt Creek FPS 02A, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, and 09). FPS Program
Manager Curtis Alley labelled for marketing purposes all eight selections and Salt Creek 01A as what he called 'Superclone #128' in
the early 1970's - the group was based on the fact that all the selections in the group originated from the same source vine (H98v8). |

the early 1970's - the grouping was based on the fact that all the selections originated from the same source vine (H98v8). Salt Creek 08 underwent heat treatment therapy for 112 days in 1964. After successful completion of testing for the California Grapevine Registration & Certification Program, Salt Creek 08 was planted in the old foundation vineyard in 1965. Salt Creek 08 underwent microshoot tip tissue culture therapy at FPS in 2009. The new material successfully completed testing to qualify for the Russell Ranch Foundation Vineyard in 2011 where it was planted as Salt Creek 08.1. |
