The Stoneridge Vineyard is located in the Royal Slope Area, northeast of the Wahluke Slope AVA and across the Saddle Mountains, near Royal City, Washington. This vineyard site has unique, rocky soils composed of Ephrata and Malaga loams which make up the complex profile of aptly named Stoneridge. A windy site, it naturally controls vigor and reduces yields, typically less than two tons per acre. The fruit is thick skinned and produces robust yet supple tannins, adding to the aging potential of the wine.
