Built in 1934, it is now owned by the Maggio and Reynolds families who had previously been growing wine grapes in the region and supplying elite Californian winemakers with superb fruit to make their wines. The winery itself was once a winemaking cooperative, which the two families purchased in 2001 and turned their own hand to winemaking using the same estate grown fruit that they had sold for so many years. Renamed Oak Ridge Winery they began by modernising the facilities and transforming it into a state-of-the-art winery. Now they proudly put their name on bottles that reflect their long and uncompromising commitments to sustainable agriculture and winemaking excellence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.oakridgewinery.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Oak Ridge Winery - Lodi, California Website\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eOak Ridge Winery Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"oak-ridge-winery-maggio-lodi-old-vine-zinfandel","title":"Maggio Lodi Old Vine Zinfandel 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eGrapes for the Maggio Family Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel are sourced entirely from sustainably farmed, family-owned estate vineyards in Lodi, California. Lodi is the self proclaimed Zinfandel Capital of the World producing over 40 percent of California’s premium Zinfandel. Journalists and wine enthusiasts alike have long recognised Lodi as the home of highly acclaimed Old Vine Zinfandels, with some plantings dating back to 1888. These vines, many of which are still planted on their own roots, are naturally low-yielding due to their age and consistently produce high quality fruit. This medium bodied red wine contains 15% Petite Sirah and is matured in a combination of French and American oak for six months. The wine matches exuberant fruit flavours with a generous dash of spicy oak. Nicely concentrated blackberry and raspberry notes fill the mouth while a juicy texture keeps it balanced.

In 2002, the family turned their own hand to winemaking, using the same estate grown fruit that they had sold for so many years. Now they proudly put their name on bottles that reflect their long and uncompromising commitments to sustainable agriculture and winemaking excellence. The Chardonnay grapes are grown in the Delta region, west of Lodi, which has a slightly cooler climate than central Lodi, both day and night. This gentle Mediterranean climate of warm days and coastal evening breezes is ideal for the cultivation of world class grapes. The mature vines are gnarled and sculpted by time, yielding small amounts of intensely flavoured fruit to create wines that are the ultimate expression of their terroir. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion to retain the crisp character. Delicate oak influence imparted subtle complexity and a creamier texture. This vibrant Chardonnay delivers fruity aromas of peach, mango, pineapple and melon. Beautifully balanced on the palate, with refreshing citrus flavours through to a long finish.
