Named for the birds that fish in the nearby river, Osprey Ridge is located just north of Phantom Creek. The vineyard is owned and operated by Robert Goltz. One of the premier growers in the valley, Robert practices innovative techniques such as planting vines at a higher density per acre to limit the yield per plant without affecting the overall yield or the exceptional quality of the grapes.

 

MICROCLIMATE

The vineyard is situated on a downward slope and receives a little less sunlight, which helps to offset the desert heat and protects the vines from frost.
