Ramey Wine Cellars
Hudson Vineyard Chardonnay
"Ramey's 2011 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is beautifully layered and succulent in the glass. Butter, almonds and hazelnuts all add complexity as this enveloping, resonant Chardonnay shows off its personality."
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2014
We use classical Burgundian techniques with the addition of whole cluster pressing of the grapes. All of our Chardonnays go through native yeast fermentation in three-year air dried French and Hungarian oak barrels and then native, delayed malolactic fermentation. The Hudson is aged sur lies for 20-21 months in barrel, and then lightly fined with traditional fining agents before being bottled without filtration.

Maybe the best Chard I ever had. Beautiful layers in this wine.
