Producer Information
Ortman Family Vineyards is run by father and son Chuck and Matt Ortman. They produce a variety of wines with grapes from the Edna Valley, Santa Maria Valley, Napa Valley, and Oregon’s Willamette Valley. Although the winery was recently founded in 2003, Chuck Ortman has decades of experience as a renowned winemaker. It all started in 1967, when he made the risky but admirable decision to change careers and become a cellar worker at Heitz in Napa Valley. Reflecting on this career move years later, Mr. Ortman remarked, “It was a risky move, but my family has roots in farming, and they were supportive. They understood that my heart was in wine.” After leaving Heitz Cellars, he was hired as winemaker for Spring Mountain Vineyard. Later, he became the first winemaker at Meridian Vineyards. Ortman is noted for being an early advocate of fermenting Chardonnay in the barrel according to Burgundian techniques. In the 1990s, he worked as a consultant for a number of esteemed wineries including Shafer Vineyards, Far Niente, and Cain Vineyard.
