Ridge's first vines were planted in 1885, but it took almost 100 years for the producer to wow the world: its wines swept the board at Steven Spurrier's 1976 Judgement of Paris competition. Ever since, Ridge has produced wines that have been rightfully regarded alongside the finest Bordeaux blends and Burgundy's top whites.
However, Zinfandel has become another jewel in the Ridge crown and Lytton Springs is planted largely with this principle variety, with Petite Sirah, Carignan and Mataro lending their own fragrance and characters.
The 2023 vintage was cool, experiencing a wet winter and a cool spring and summer. This pushed back harvest in the twenty-eight plots but allowed the grapes to hang longer allowing for more complete roundness and complexity. Of these, twenty-six were selected for their rich black fruit and perfectly balanced structure. This classic Lytton Springs will be enjoyable over the next ten years.
Please note that prices are in-bond and exclude Duty and VAT, which are payable when the wines land.
