A Bedrock of Brilliance
“Beauty begets beauty” at Ankida, both in the ground and above it. Soil plays a predominant role in the structure of grapes, their vines and ultimately the wines. This slide is a microscopic slice of our vineyard soil that feeds the vines. Formed for over 600,000 years as part of the Appalachian Mountains, the second oldest mountain chain on the planet, this soil is a testament to nature's enduring power and the impact it has on the wines we craft. This ancient, weathered igneous rock of charnockite granite contains a complexity of quartz, pyroxene, feldspar converting to clay and other minerals too numerous to mention here.

INSPIRED BY BURGUNDY BUT Distinctly Virginia
At Ankida Ridge, our journey began with a vision to cultivate something truly unique for Virginia's wine scene. Inspired by the renowned wines of Burgundy, we set out to create a vineyard that would stand apart. Our decision to keep our vineyard small, under two acres, was deliberate – a manageable size for us to meticulously tend to each vine. Situated at a much higher elevation of 1800 ft, our site boasts rocky soils and pronounced air movement, creating a microclimate unlike any other in Virginia. As the cool mountain air sweeps down to the valleys on either side of us, we knew we were onto something special. "Little Burgundy," she suggested, and indeed, our vineyard could be Virginia's answer to the famed wine region.
