For more than 30 years, our Riverbench Vineyard has been recognized for producing world-class Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from California’s Santa Maria Valley. We are dedicated to crafting a small portfolio of wines from one remarkable vineyard, where cool ocean breezes nurture the varietals’ luscious tropical fruit flavors. We enhance these natural qualities through fermentation and aging in French oak barrels, resulting in a wine of uncommon character and dimension. |

Winemaker Chuck Ortman Chuck Ortman is recognized as one of California’s most respected winemakers. His winemaking career extends over nearly 40 years, during which he cultivated his signature “Ortman style” of winemaking. Chuck began his winemaking career in the cellar at Napa Valley’s Heitz Cellars in 1968. He quickly worked his way up in the winemaking ranks, and by the mid-1970’s he was consulting for some of Napa Valley’s premium wineries, including Far Niente, Shafer, and Cain. Along the way, Chuck became one of the first Californian winemakers to explore the benefits of barrel fermentation of Chardonnay, earning him the nickname “Mr. Chardonnay.” Later, Chuck founded Meridian Vineyards in Paso Robles. The success of Meridian helped establish the Central Coast as one of California’s most dynamic and prestigious winegrowing regions. Chuck now returns to his earlier years, when he sourced the fruit from Riverbench for Meridian. Over three decades, he has watched the progression of the vineyard, and is proud to carefully hand craft stellar small lots of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from the paramount sections of our property. |
