Viticulture Practices

How we grow

At Diamondback Ridge, we believe in sustainability. We grow premium quality wine grapes by carefully managing water and nutrients to promote excellent vine development while ensuring the health of the environment. 

Tendril growth at Diamondback Ridge Vineyard.

Smart water management

The sand and gravel in the soil allow for good water drainage but adequate water retention, which gives us the ability to control moisture for optimal crop development.

No mechanical shortcuts

Through the growing cycle, great attention is paid to proper canopy management for well-ripened fruit that delivers winemakers a balanced flavor profile in all grape varietals. All work is meticulously performed by hand with no mechanical pruning, leafing, or harvesting. Vintners can be assured we will sell only top-quality wine grapes.

Mindful row spacing

Diamondback Ridge Vineyard was planted on an 8’x5’ row spacing which allows us to crop less fruit per vine while maintaining reasonable production per acre. This ensures winemakers are purchasing some of the highest quality wine grapes available in Washington State.
