Perched at 1,250 feet on California's Carmel Coast, Albatross Ridge is a 25-acre estate vineyard planted in 2008 with ancient marine seabed soils that give distinctive character to its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Winemaker Garrett Bowlus tends the 12 vineyard blocks entirely by hand using organic farming practices, crafting wines that reflect the unique terroir of Carmel Valley.
Albatross Ridge is a small, organically-farmed estate producer emphasizing terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from distinctive ancient marine soils at high elevation on the Carmel Coast. The winery shows a modern approach with concrete fermentation (Cuvée Béton) and sparkling wine production alongside traditional still wines.
