Harvest 2023 at Ridge Vineyards' Monte Bello Estate

Harvest 2023 is underway at RIDGE! All signs point to a fantastic vintage thus far. Hear from Viticulturist Kyle Theriot as crews harvest chardonnay and cabernet sauvignon from Monte Bello in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Winemaker Trester Goetting and Chairman Paul Draper discuss the vintage as they process the fruit for winemaking. Explore our Vineyards: https://bit.ly/RVVineyards Monte Bello is first and foremost a wine of place. That place – high atop the Santa Cruz Mountains – produces a wine unlike any other. The Monte Bello vineyard ranges in elevation from 1300′ to 2700′ above sea level and is composed of unique green stone and clay soils layered over decomposing limestone. Limestone is not found in the well-known Cabernet producing areas of Napa and Sonoma Valleys, making the soil composition at Monte Bello a unique and important contributor to the wine’s distinctive character. The combination of elevation, cool climate, and soil produces a wine that is impeccably balanced and destined for long-term aging, with firm acidity and a consistent streak of minerality. Ridge Vineyards is one of the largest farmers of organically certified grapes in Sonoma County and the largest in the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation. We call our approach to winemaking "pre-industrial." We believe that for anyone attempting to make fine wine, modern additives and industrial processing limit true quality. 🎵 : MB01HWQG2N3ZORZ
