The Story
Located at the southern end of Ukiah Valley, bounded by the Mayacamas Mountains on the east and the Russian River to the west, La Ribera Vineyard is one of the earliest vineyards in the region to mature. Warm summer temperatures are moderated by the river and riparian zone, ensuring the retention of natural acidity and freshness in the grapes. The soil composition, a blend of base rock from the Mayacamas and fast-draining Pinole topsoil enriched with sand, gravel, and light clay, creates an ideal medium for cultivation. This unique blend of soil components and location contributes to the vineyard's reputation for producing bright, aromatic fruit that authentically reflects its surrounding terroir.
About Moniker
Producer Story
Located on the bank of the Russian River in southern Ukiah Valley, La Ribera Vineyard, Spanish for “The Riverbank”, is bordered by 1.5 miles of the Russian River to the west, Morrison Creek to the north, the Mayacamas Mountains to the east, and the Creek With
No Name to the south. Warm summer daytime temperatures are moderated by the Russian River and riparian zone that run the length of the vineyard, helping retain the natural acidity and freshness in the Chardonnay grapes. The soil, composed of base rock from the Mayacamas Mountain range and a patchwork of diverse topsoil – a unique balance between sand, gravel, and a light, surface-based clay from the nearby waterways – is the perfect medium, leading to bright, aromatic fruit and an expression of the land in which the vines grow.
