It is well known for its Petite Sirah and Concannon was the first winery to bottle this grape as a varietal wine in 1961. Prior to 1961, the petit syrah grape was produced worldwide as a blend wine.

Concannon was founded in 1883 by an Irish immigrant, James Concannon of Inishmore, County Galway. James imported a group of cuttings from Chateau
Petite mutation petite negative mutants. Potentially, these yeasts have a different inheritance system in place for their mitchondrial genome than "S. cerevisiae" does. The frequency at which "S. castellii" spontaneously produces petites is similar to that of "S. cerevisiae", with the mitochondrial DNA of those petites being highly altered via deletion and rearrangement. Suppressive petites of "S. cerevisiae" are the most commonly observed spontaneously created mutants, whereas in "S. castellii," the most commonly observed spontaneous mutant is the neutral petite, further leading to speculation that the transference of this mutation differs between species.
