    Producer

    Producer

    Ridge Vineyards stretches across the steep slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains. The decades-old vines benefit from an ideal climate, with sunny days and cool nights, promoting the slow ripening of the grapes. The predominantly clay-limestone soils impart a distinct minerality to the wines, while also allowing for optimal drainage. This unique combination of climate and terroir contributes to the complexity and depth of the wines produced here.

    Owner and history

    Ridge Vineyards is run by a group of passionate individuals who share a common vision: to produce exceptional wines while preserving the environment. Their commitment to sustainability and responsible farming practices is at the heart of their philosophy. The owners, whose winemaking heritage is deeply rooted in California's history, work closely with a team of winemakers and viticulturists to ensure that every bottle reflects the soul of their terroir.

    Vinification and aging

    Winemaking at Ridge Vineyards is carried out with complete respect for the fruit. The grapes are harvested by hand, then destemmed before being fermented in open vats, allowing for a gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Aging takes place in oak barrels, some of which are new, to refine the wine without masking its personality. This meticulous process, coupled with rigorous temperature control, ensures a faithful expression of the terroir and the typicity of the vintage.
