The Monte Bello is the result of a barrel selection of the estates Chardonnay, which is then aged in barrels for a futher year. Polished sweet mineral notes combine with lemon pith and fine stone fruits, there's great definition on display, more richness than the regular bottling, but also more tension and persistence. This is a fabulous vintage for Monte Bello Chardonnay.
The history of Ridge begins in 1885, when Osea Perrone, a doctor, bought 180 acres near the top of Monte Bello Ridge, producing the first vintage under Ridge Vineyard’s name in 1892. Ridge relies on nature and tradition rather than technology. The viticulture is sustainable, almost entirely organic and avoid additions in the wine-making as much as possible. There is no mechanical processing except for gentle filtration at bottling and traditional desteming and pressing. Their approach is straightforward: find intense, flavourful grapes; intrude upon the process only when necessary; draw the fruit's distinctive character and richness into the wine.
