The Vista Ridge Estate Wines start life in the small vineyard on Vista Ridge Estate which is situated on the Darling scarp to the east of Harvey. Here the Cabernet Sauvignon vines benefit from the north facing slopes, temperate weather and ideal soils.
The vines are hand managed to produce low yields per acre to ensure intense berry flavours. The grapes are hand picked at optimal ripeness. Red wines and ports are fermented in open fermenters to allow controlled extraction of colour, flavour and tannin from the skins before gently basket pressing and oak maturing. These processes allow production of small volumes of complex, full-bodied wines/ports. Rosé wines are pressed and allowed optimal skin contact to produce a crispness and fruitiness while maintaining the slightly dry finish characteristic of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. In october 2010 all our vines were removed due to a number of reasons and will be replaced with olives in the near future. However we have a large stock of quality wines for sale at our cellar door by appiontment or from our website.
