Discover the grape variety: Raisaine
Simple, fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate and preserved acidity, with understated aromas of white flowers, citrus (lemon) and herbal notes. A rustic profile now almost absent from commercial viticulture. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the South-West. Rare French white grape, once grown in the South-West and studied for its heritage value.

Mineral, Chablis-like Chardonnay (500 acres), signature tension and freshness. Also Syrah, Barbera and Sauvignon Blanc. Marine corridors between the Purisima and Santa Rosa Hills, marine limestone soils, a Californian Burgundian identity.
