- Bright aromas of pear, pineapple, and tropical fruit are followed by creamy notes of vanilla and honeysuckle, which are rich and smooth. 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.
Minimal intervention winemaking techniques were used to allow the true Californian terroir to shine through. Primarily fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and varietal characteristics of the Chardonnay grape, a small proportion was fermented in oak to add subtle complexity. It underwent partial malolactic conversion which developed a creamy texture, while retaining balancing acidity.

Winery | Sourced from the finest North and Central Coast vineyards throughout California, with each area adding a unique layer to the overall taste profile. 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 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. Napa Green and the California Sustainable Winegrowing Alliance accredit them. Five generations of the Raymond family have created a Napa icon with an enduring reputation for elegant wines and a beautiful balance of finesse, opulence, and complexity. |
