Ridge Vineyards

4 months agoThe most frequently asked questions here at Ridge Vineyards revolve around wine ageing, so we built a comprehensive guide to answer them all. . We’ve been making wines built for long-term ageing since our first vintage of Monte Bello in 1962. While not all wines are produced (or suitable) for decades in the #cellar, there are certain factors that assist with graceful ageing that are helpful to know before you tuck your bottles away. . In this guide, we’ll go over what makes a wine ageable, what happens to #wine as it ages, and which RIDGE wines benefit from prolonged ageing. . . . #RidgeVineyards #finewine #winecellar #collector #montebello #cabernet #zinfandel #lyttonsprings #chardonnay #winelover

5 months ago🎉 We're celebrating 50 years at Lytton Springs! 🎉 . Paul Draper first saw the vineyard in 1972. Based on its age (then already 80 years old), he purchased grapes and produced RIDGE's first Lytton Springs bottling that year. . In 1991, on the 20th anniversary of our first vintage, Ridge Vineyards purchased the Lytton Springs winery and the old vines surrounding it, making it a true estate vineyard. . Now, 50 years later, we are proud to be celebrating the golden anniversary of this time-honored site. .
