During 1998 - 1999, a selection of Magill Estate and Kalimna vines were planted at Block 30 of the newly purchased Camatta Hills Estate in Pasa Robles.
Over the years, Penfolds winemakers have worked on the ground in California, from the recently retired Senior Winemaker Steve Lienert (39-year tenure at Penfolds), who participated in California harvests two decades ago, to current Chief Winemaker Peter Gago, Senior Winemaker Steph Dutton and Winemaker Andrew Baldwin.
Experimental Penfolds Camatta Hills vintages occurred in 2006 and 2007, however these bottles were never commercially released. Today, a total of 90.8 acres of the vineyard is planted equally with Kalimna and Magill Estate vines.
