Manchester Ridge Vineyard sits at a 2,000-foot elevation due west of Anderson Valley and about four miles from the Pacific Ocean. On the ridge tops of the Pacific Coast mountain ranges, this vineyard resides above the fog throughout the year.
The maritime influence coupled with the bright yet cool sun on the coast increases the hang time of our Blanc de Blancs, further elevating the bright mineral tones imparted by the Goldridge soils. Unpredictably blustery, cold, and ever-changing, the climate at Manchester Ridge Vineyard is by far the most challenging of all of the vineyards we work with but the rewards are amongst the greatest.
