Mahogany
Mountain Vineyard and Winery is a small, family-owned and operated winery
specializing in limited production
of handcrafted fine wines from our estate-grown Barbera, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre,
Muscat Canelli, Petit Verdot, Syrah and Zinfandel. Our vineyards are
located on 43 acres in a picturesque and sunny high valley (1,500
ft. elevation) in Ramona, California surrounded by mountains. Our
microclimate is perfect for growing red wine grapes and dry-farming.
Hot long summer days and cool nights produce beautifully ripe fruits
with deep intense flavors.
Our
philosophy is to grow grapes with as little impact on
our surroundings as possible and live in harmony with the nature
around us.
Consequently, our
farming practices follow a basic principle of
maintaining a balanced and healthy environment in which we live.
We take great pride in every aspect of grape-growing
and wine-making to ensure the quality of our handcrafted estate
wines.
Our wine-making techniques include harvesting by hand organically
grown grapes, small bin fermentation, hand
punch-down of caps, hand press and aging in small oak
barrels. Our hand-crafted estate wines are made naturally with
great care to capture the distinct varietal's flavors and aromatic
qualities.
In
1996, we started making wine on premises using locally grown
grapes. In 1997, we planted our own vineyards with Cabernet
Sauvignon, Merlot, Mourvedre and Zinfandel varietals. Since then, we expanded
our vineyard to add Barbera, Petit Verdot and Syrah to our collection of red wine varietals. We
recently planted a small vineyard of Muscat Canelli.
On
January 6, 2006, the Ramona Valley was designated as an American
Viticultural Area by the Federal Taxation and Trade Bureau.
In
November 2010, we opened our Tasting Room to the public!

Mussey Grade Road (actually on Mahogany Ranch Road)
Ramona,
CA 92065
The
drive to our tasting room is one of the most picturesque and scenic
drives in San Diego County as Mussey Grade Road, the road leading to our winery and
vineyards,
is one of the most beautiful historical roads in San Diego County.
It's lined
with hundred-year-old California native oak trees, wild lilacs that bloom in
the Spring and sycamore trees that have beautiful fall foliage in
the Fall and Winter. It
was the main stage coach road that connected the Back
Country and Julian to Mission Valley and downtown San Diego.
We hope
you'll visit our tasting room soon!
