Ramey’s Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay is a terroir-driven Russian River Valley wine made from old (1972) Old Wente and a few Musqué vines on sandy Goldridge bench soils that many critics call a “California Grand Cru.” Whole-cluster pressing, native yeast fermentation and full malolactic aging in French oak (roughly 20 months with ~20% new) yield a silky, mineral-driven Chardonnay with orchard and stone-fruit layers, subtle spice and the texture and acidity for long-term aging.
