This acquisition marks the third significant expansion in the last four years for Fortunate Son Wines
Jayson Woodbridge, founder and owner of Hundred Acre Wine Group, has acquired Napa Valley’s historic Madrigal Winery. The vineyard and winery will serve Fortunate Son Wines, the newest wine project from the critically acclaimed winemaker.
This acquisition marks the third significant expansion in the last four years for Fortunate Son Wines which are sourced from heritage micro-block sites that showcase the quality of the vineyards that are the bedrock of the early history of the Napa Valley.
Each Fortunate Son wine is made with the same meticulous winemaking and farming practices as Woodbridge’s flagship wine Hundred Acre. The wines represent a commitment to quality and craftsmanship that very few wineries in the world can match. Hundred Acre Wines have been awarded 65 scores of 100 points over the last 19 vintages.
“We are in a period that occurs once in a few generations. It has allowed us to buy and redevelop our historic vineyard, farmed since the 1870s on the corner of Larkmead Lane and Highway 29 a stone’s throw from Madrigal with very similar soil profiles, a natural fit which will also complement our existing Fortunate Son Winery in St. Helena at the historic David Fulton Ranch est. 1860 and one of the first if not the first winery in California. This type of opportunity only comes along for vineyards of this quality perhaps every 75 – 100 years,” Woodbridge said.
