About Lopez Ranch Vineyard
Lopez Ranch represents the Cucamonga Valley's threatened old-vine heritage at its most poignant: private vineyard parcels near Rancho Cucamonga whose century-class vines supply fruit to outside producers even as development presses in.
The ranch has become a cause as much as a source, cited by winemakers and historians working to keep the valley's ancient own-rooted plantings in the ground.
There is no public access; the wines made from Lopez fruit by champion producers are the way in, and every bottle argues for the vines' survival.
