AJA Vineyards is a winery located in the Malibu Coast American Viticulture Area (AVA) which began harvesting grapes and producing wine in 2011. We grow Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Carbernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Sauvignon Blanc varietals in the Santa Monica mountains. AJA produces approximately 700 cases of wine per year of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Proprietary Red and Sauvignon Blanc wine. We are a small boutique vineyard with a minimalist approach - we take exquisite care of the vines and the fruit as they grow and then we barrel for 18-24 months and let nature make it perfect!
