About
Wildwood Winery is cultivating Riesling grapes in the cool-climate foothills of Santa Cruz County, an ideal setting for vibrant acidity, floral aromatics, and mineral-driven fruit. Their mission is to pioneer a new approach to California Riesling by producing low-alcohol or zero-alcohol wines without compromising flavor, structure, or vineyard character. The project is just beginning, with documentation of vine maturation, first harvest, and winemaking trials.
