Welcome to AJA Vineyards, a Malibu Winery
Hi all! Thanks for reading along. My name is Amanda Greenbaum, and I’m the proprietor of AJA Vineyards.
My father started this winery in 2011, when I was just 14 years old, and we made it a goal of ours to produce the best quality wines of Malibu. A vineyard near the beach? Count me in. AJA became the name of our winery, standing for Alec, my younger brother, Jack, my youngest brother, and myself, Amanda.
I decided that it’s about time we start blogging a little about the winery and give you updates as our growing season progresses. Currently, in our Malibu estate vineyards, it’s the middle of bloom and fruit set. As we approach June, our coastline Cabernet Sauvignons, Syrahs, Sauvignon Blanc, and other Bordeaux-varietal reds are getting ready for a fantastic year. We’re trying to farm as sustainably as possible, so rather than using chemicals like Roundup to kill the weeds, we’re meticulously weed-whacking, so as not to disturb the vines and to let them grow.
We’re almost out of our 2015 Cab, our 2014 Proprietary Red Blend, and our 2011 Syrahs and Proprietary Reds. We hope you’ll check them out in our shop.
We’ll be sharing more updates via our social media outlets. We’re doing a weekly Instagram Live vlog called Into the Vineyards, where we show you what’s going on. We hope you’ll join us.
That’s all for now. We’ll chat soon.
Best,
Amanda Greenbaum, CS, Proprietor, AJA Vineyards
