Mindego Ridge is a small 10-acre vineyard in the northwest corner of the Santa Cruz Mountains lovingly farmed and cared for by husband and wife owners, David & Stacey Gollnick. The vineyard sits on a dramatic, south-facing hillside that steeply slopes up to 950ft in elevation with shallow soils composed of silty clay loam over sandstone and fractured shale. Cool and tempered, just 8 miles from the Pacific and adjacent to redwoods, Dave and Stacey planted the vineyard in 2009 with a passion for farming and mission to produce 100% estate grown, single vineyard wines that authentically express the marine-influenced mountain terroir that is their home. In 2013, Dave & Stacey partnered with renowned winemaker, Ehren Jordan, who crafts the wines in small lots with minimal intervention to produce site-inspired Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with extraordinary balance and finesse.
