When Rudy and Rita Von Strasser purchased the old Roddis Winery in 1990, the vineyards were planted in two stages. The oldest block, 2 acres in size, was planted in 1970 to budwood from Martha’s Vineyard. The second block, 4 acres in size, was planted in 1983, also with budwood from Martha’s Vineyard. In 1991, the von Strasser’s embarked upon a vineyard modernization, changing the entire vineyard to a high density, vertical trellis system. An acre of Petit Verdot was planted that year with an eye towards its future use in a unique Reserve bottling. In 1998, a new piece of hillside land was cleared and planted to vineyard. Today, the property consists of Cabernet Sauvignon (12 acres), Petit Verdot (2 acres), and Merlot (1 acre).\u003cbr\u003e","published_at":"2023-06-26T11:34:49-04:00","created_at":"2023-06-23T06:51:43-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_United States","Other_Wine","Producer_Von Strasser","Region_Knights Valley","RK2306","Source_WineOnlineDelivery0623","Type_White Wine","Varietal_Chardonnay"],"price":26195,"price_min":26195,"price_max":26195,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":43012251353226,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2016 | Von Strasser | Rudy Chardonnay","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":26195,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/50_7b0d8b9a-4c92-4159-b363-44fdbe5d0dd8.png?v=1687517650"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/50_7b0d8b9a-4c92-4159-b363-44fdbe5d0dd8.png?v=1687517650","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2016 | Von Strasser | Rudy Chardonnay at CaskCartel.com","id":24717339852938,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.379,"height":372,"width":141,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/50_7b0d8b9a-4c92-4159-b363-44fdbe5d0dd8.png?v=1687517650"},"aspect_ratio":0.379,"height":372,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/50_7b0d8b9a-4c92-4159-b363-44fdbe5d0dd8.png?v=1687517650","width":141}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eWhite  Wine: 2016 | Von Strasser | Rudy Chardonnay\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refreshing take on classic California Chardonnay.
