Al Scheid first saw untapped potential in Monterey County in 1972 when the wine region was in its infancy. What started as a grape growing operation that sold 100% of its production to other wineries today has evolved into a grapes-to-glass family business that crafts authentic and elegant wines. All our vineyards as well as winery is 100% sustainably certified as well as BRC certified.Our Scheid Family Wines portfolio includes a wide range of labels form entry level to premium. To mention a few: Scheid Vineyards, District 7, Metz Road, VDR and Stokes' Ghost, Ranch 32, Ryder Estate, Odd Lot.
Vinification At the winery, the fruit is carefully sorted then destemmed, crushed and fermented at warm temperatures in stainless steel fermenters. Gentle punch downs are performed several times a day. Once dry, the must is pressed into stainless steel tanks for settling, then racked prior to aging on both new and neutral French oak. The time on oak imparts nuanced notes of vanilla and toast.
