About RIPE
OUR MISSION
RIPE was formed with an inspiration to create a one-of-a-kind selection that represents farmers and their families and be able to expose their passion and craft. We are always motivated by their perseverance and hard work.
We are committed to searching and Representing Independent Premium Estates, producers that speak the language of the land they come from. From a range of certified organic, minimal intervention to the certified biodynamic farmers in our portfolio; they all share the same passion and respect for the earth's natural balance and best expression of their terroir.
We started RIPE in 2015 shortly after we got married. We decided to launch our company empowered by our respective wine careers and a common passion for the industry. We had a vision of challenging the industry as we knew it and wanting to give a voice to wine growers that we believed had a story to tell through their wines.
Driven by our passion for meeting vignerons and constantly tasting wines from the most remote corners of the world, we started a selection of growers who had unique wines that we wanted to share with our customers and beyond. This is a constantly evolving adventure that allows us to meet some incredibly talented farmers and their families, we feel privileged to be the ambassadors of their craft.
