Purchase Cameron, Chardonnay - Abbey Ridge 2006

"Our oldest vineyard and perhaps the most unique is this 22 acre gem located high in the Dundee Hills. The oldest vines were planted in 1976 and these consistently produce some of the best wines in the cellar. A younger block of Pinot noir was planted in 1990 to multiple clones taken from the Clos Electrique vineyard. Known as Arley's Leap, it was named after Bill and Julia's dear, old departed dog, Arley, whose most famous leap was from a balcony in Victoria when he was startled by a cat. A block of Pinot noir and Chardonnay planted in 1984 on a different hillside at Abbey Ridge forms the basis of Cameron's village wine (currently the Willamette Valley appellation). In a distant corner of the vineyard at its highest point we have established a "Friulian" section planted to Pinot bianco and Pinot grigio. These grapes produce the lovely northern Italian-style white wine called Cameroni Giovanni.

At Abbey Ridge only organic sprays are used on the grapes. Moisture levels in the soil of this non-irrigated vineyard are managed by a rotating system of cover crops and tilled (or clean cultivated) areas. By adjusting mowed height of the cover crops relative to rainfall, appropriate quantities of water can be retained in the soil for the vines. The older vines have extremely deep roots to take advantage of moisture there during the dry, late summer months. Abbey Ridge is one of the highest vineyards in the Red Hills of Dundee and is generally harvested relatively late (mid-October for the Pinot noir and mid to late October for the white varieties). This situation produces fruit with high natural acidities and wines with tremendous aging potential. Yields average 2.0-2.5 tons per acre for the Pinot noirs (27-34 hl/Hectare) and 2.0-3.0 tons per acre for the white varieties (27- 40 hl/Hectare)." - Winery Notes
