2024 Âmevive Wine "Ravie", Santa Barbara, California, USA

ABOUT THE WINE

“Ravie” — meaning “delighted” in French — reflects Âmevive’s Mediterranean inspiration and minimal-intervention ethos. Sourced from organically and regeneratively farmed vineyards across Santa Barbara County, the wine benefits from cool ocean influence that preserves natural acidity while allowing full aromatic development.

Depending on the vintage composition, “Ravie” often highlights Rhône-inspired varieties, crafted with native yeast fermentation and gentle extraction techniques. Fermentation may include whole-cluster elements to enhance lift and texture, with aging in neutral vessels such as concrete or older oak to preserve purity and site expression. The 2024 vintage showcases vivid red fruit, citrus zest, subtle spice, and a delicate herbal edge, all carried by a refreshing structural backbone.

Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to charcuterie, grilled vegetables, roast chicken, Mediterranean mezze, or lightly spiced dishes. Serve slightly chilled to emphasize its brightness and energy.
