An iconic vineyard for Russian River Valley Chardonnay, the Ritchie vineyard is planted with 40+-year-old Wente clone vines which are carefully tended to by Kent Ritchie. The age and clone cause the fruit to retain much of the natural minerality and acidity of the Russian River Valley so the wines are fresh and vibrant. We countered this with 62% new French oak and aged it for 18 months after barrel fermentation.
