The Ahlgrens, Dexter and Val, built this redwood post and beam house in 1975. Designed by Sim van der Ryn, the lumber was milled on the site by its builders using an Alaskan Mill. Located in the rugged Santa Cruz mountains at an elevation of 1100 feet, the winery is tucked into the north slope of the hillside under the house. Fermentation and aging of the white wines takes place here in the barrels.
Red wines undergo secondary fermentation and aging here as well.
In addition to barrel fermentation and aging, the bottling of Ahlgren wines takes place in the cellar. Any comments or suggestions may be sent to the WebMaven .
