Ridge Vineyard

Santa Cruz Mountains, Sonoma County, USA

This esteemed California winery is one of the World’s most revered producers and specialises in premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay wines. Ridge is renowned for their focus on single estate wines, where each label’s grapes come exclusively from a particular vineyard. Operating with a unique philosophical approach that the team call ‘pre-industrial winemaking’, Ridge achieves exceptional quality through sustainable and organic farming, meticulous handpicking and sorting of grapes, native yeast usage, naturally occurring malolactic fermentation, and minimal SO2 usage. Ridge was one of the first wineries in the world to introduce listing all ingredients on its labels and the team embarked on a decade-long journey to obtain full organic certification, becoming the largest single owner of USDA certified organic vineyards in California by the 2020 vintage.
