Mindego Ridge Vineyard
Santa Cruz Mountains
Mindego Ridge Vineyard is a spectacular site in the Santa Cruz Mountains, perched at 2,200 feet elevation on the fog line. The combination of altitude, thin rocky soils, and dramatic diurnal temperature swings produces wines of exceptional depth and complexity. The vineyard is both a source for acclaimed producers like Sandar & Hem and a producer in its own right, with wines crafted by the legendary Ehren Jordan of Failla. This connection to Failla brings world-class winemaking expertise to showcase the unique terroir of this remarkable site.
