With a German ancestry, the twins’ great grandparents emigrated to Lodi in 1870. Their initial farming venture was non-irrigated watermelons and wheat. After years of demanding work, a vineyard was purchased in the early 1900’s – property that is tilled by the family today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassing down agrarian talents from father-to-son, landed twins Randy and Brad Lange the chance to carve out a modern business of not only planting, cultivating, and nurturing the vines, but making the leap to bottle their hard work as premium wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe twins’ vision, confidence, and determination grew a profitable business in the Lodi and Clarksburg appellations from a small family property to more significant holdings, including a state-of-the-art winery. All of which gives the family the opportunity to manage the business with a 360-degree approach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe generational shift continues as their children, now talented adults, have stepped forward with the fifth generation of Langes making a calculated lifelong commitment to the family. Each member of the fifth gen has carved out their role in either the viticulture or winery team by adding their unique spin and leadership to the future of agriculture, not only locally, but also holding state and national positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA nook on the Lange family’s land nestled in the bank of the Mokelumne River.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis land – once native habitat supporting local flora and fauna along the river’s edge – was planted to agriculture many generations before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lange family put it back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat began as small environmentally-friendly gestures – nurturing oak seedlings, planting native bushes, erecting boxes for nesting wood ducks and oaks and perches for hawks (even a bat motel!) – evolved into a multi-generational vision to re-establish a native corridor, connecting miles of the lands in support of symbiosis between agriculture and nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSand Point was the first of the family’s habitat restoration projects. And thirty years in, they are just getting started.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFarmed responsibly and validated with dual certification through The Lodi Rules and California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance (CSWA).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12 months oak aging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage is robust, balanced, and extremely smooth on the finish. Alluring notes of black raspberry, dark chocolate, and peppercorn are elevated by savoury tannins and a balanced acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePair Lange Twins Sand Point Cabernet Sauvignon with rich, fatty, and savoury dishes to balance the wine’s dark berry, earthy notes, and moderate tannins. Ideal pairings include grilled ribeye steak, slow-braised short ribs, or mushroom risotto.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Milestone Wines LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55707801485688,"sku":"USAME150036","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/6048\/2912\/files\/lange-twins-sand-point-cabernet-sauvignon-9653343.jpg?v=1792629955","url":"https:\/\/latitudewine.co.uk\/products\/lange-twins-sand-point-cabernet-sauvignon","provider":"Latitude Wine \u0026 Liquor Merchant ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
