- The fresh, floral nose opens with bright citrus notes complemented by a touch of honeysuckle. Crisp, with tangy citrus notes on the exquisitely balanced palate, this creamy Chardonnay is smooth on the finish.
Fermentation took place in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit. The wine did not go through malolactic conversion, retaining a crisp style that focuses on the inherent qualities of the Chardonnay varietal. The wine was aged for 10 months on its fine lees with periodic lees stirring, imparting texture. Maturation took place in 100% French oak barrels, 17% new, from Seguin Moreau, Francois Frere and Orion.
Raymond Vineyards, founded in 1970, is one of Napa Valley’s pioneering estates. The Raymond family arrived in Napa in 1933 and have become deeply connected to the valley’s winemaking origins. In 1970, they established a 36-hectare estate in Rutherford, which now comprises 121 hectares in Rutherford, St. Helena and Jameson Canyon. Raymond’s Rutherford and St. Helena estate vineyards are certified organic and biodynamic, and 100% of the winery’s power comes from renewable solar energy. They are certified by Napa Green and the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance. Five generations of the Raymond family have created a Napa icon, with an enduring reputation for elegant wines with a beautiful balance of finesse, opulence and complexity
