2014 Ramey Chardonnay<br />
Woolsey Road Vineyard<br />
This vineyard is owned by the Martinelli family and was planted to<br />
Ramey’s specifications in 2007. It lies directly south of their winery on<br />
Woolsey Road. Vines are spaced one meter by two meters. Rootstock<br />
is the low-vigor 420A and the vines are cane pruned.<br />
2014 was another classic vintage. A mild winter and spring caused an<br />
early bud break followed by consistent temperatures throughout the<br />
summer, promoting even ripening. They had ample hang time which<br />
in turn yielded intense varietal character and a rich texture.<br />
