Riverbench Vineyard was planted in 1973 as one
of the Santa Maria Valley’s first vineyards. Originally, the
vineyard consisted of 220 acres of Chardonnay and 55 acres of Pinot
Noir, and in 2007, we added an additional 37 acres of Pinot Noir,
Pinot Gris and Viognier. In the coming years these selections will
be available through the tasting room.
Our goal remains to produce the highest quality
grapes in our vineyards, resulting in unparalleled wine quality.
Riverbench is committed to sustainable winegrowing practices that
are environmentally sound, socially equitable, and economically
feasible. Keeping these sustainable practices in mind, we not only
produce a superior product, but we are able to help protect the
environment, conserve natural resources, maintain the long-term
viability of our vineyard, and support the economic and social well-being
of our employees.
The first vintage included both Estate and
Reserve versions of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Since then, our portfolio
has increased to include new interpretations of these noble varietals.
All Riverbench wines are made in limited quantities, and are available
exclusively through our Tasting Room.
