!000 vines, Cabernet Savignon
Established in October 2015, Gualtieri Family Vineyard is one of the newer vineyards in Ramona. Our dream to start a vineyard began as a tribute to our Italian father Salvatore Joseph Gualtieri, MD and grandfather Joseph Ipolito Gualtieri from Conzensa, Calabria, Italy.
We will be planting 1 acre of Syrah this May 2019. We plan to sell our harvest in 3 -4 years. As time goes on we will add acre by acre grape varietals that are popular to the Ramona AVA.
Feel free to drive by and watch the progress!
Michael and Marla Fryman, a husband and wife duo, raise wine grapes in their estate vineyards in Ramona, California.
With an outstanding terroir, coupled with their winemaking skills, the couple have won multiple, internationally acclaimed, amateur winemaking awards and medals! Among those awards in the amateur winemaking category are:
- Best In Show – The Lum Eisenman Award – Ramona Valley Vineyard Association 2023 Wine Competition
- Best Estate Wine – Tied – American Wine Society 2020 Wine Competition
- Double Gold, Honorable Mentions, and many more!
The Rebel Ranch was established on Leap Day, 2008. The Rebel Ranch Vineyards were first planted in 2016. The Fryman’s have planted approximately 1.5 acres to Petite Sirah + Sangiovese vines.
Although not open to the public just yet, the Fryman’s anxiously await the day to open their boutique winery in the wine country of the Ramona Valley AVA.
