RAMEY CHARDONNAY HYDE VINEYARD 2018


Hyde Vineyard Chardonnay was the first wine produced under the Ramey Wine Cellars label. Hyde wines are charming and feminine, with high natural acidity playing a prominent role. The Ramey block of Chardonnay was planted in 1997 and 1999.

The 2018 season was exemplary. Higher cluster counts than the low yielding years of 2015-2017, coupled with cooler late summer temperatures, brought longer hang times with harvest dates up to two weeks later than the previous vintage.

This is a stunner from blocks planted in 1997 and 1999. Beautiful aromas of toasted hazelnut and stone lead to a palate that shows undeniable minerality paired with lasting acidity. It shows freshness and energy throughout. Drink 2026–2032. Cellar Selection.

Powerful, sleek and well-structured, with rich minerality and savoriness to fresh-cut apple and pear flavors, backed by crackling acidity. Dried mint and sea salt accents linger on the spicy finish, with toasty notes. Best from 2022 through 2027.

The 2018 Chardonnay Hyde Vineyard is reminiscent of a fine Chablis, opening with notes of flint that segue to citrus and soft floral perfume. The palate is tensile and shimmery with racy acidity and mineral undertones. The youthfully shy fruits hint at more gravitas to come with time in bottle.
