Renegade Ridge Estate

Our Rebellious Vineyard
Located just east of Archery Summit Estate, Renegade Ridge is aptly named, as the profusely growing vines require some taming. To maintain the desired yields, we both remove extra fruit and cull the vines’ strong-willed foliage. We also use biodynamic farming practices, relying on nature’s cycles to produce an even higher quality Pinot Noir grape. Facing east, Renegade Ridge receives plenty of morning sun while being sheltered from afternoon heat. The fruit ripens later and hangs longer, ultimately producing wines that are concentrated, elegantly shaped and very approachable.
