Julien and Clément manage 20 hectares of vines across 60 different parcels, three quarters of which
are Sauvignon Blanc and one quarter Pinot Noir. Soils are primarily the classic ‘terres blanches’ claychalk, a heavier soil which gives the wines a ripe fruit character, and some 'caillottes', a form of
limestone. A very modern, well-equipped, stainless steel cellar allows them to control the temperature
of the wines during fermentation and later storage in tank prior to bottling to retain the freshness of the
fruit characters. The grapes for this cuvée are a blend from all of the Raimbault's parcels of Sauvignon
Blanc, and the wine is aged in stainless steel for ten months on its lees.

This refreshing, aromatic wine has wonderful aromas of fresh limes and ripe
citrus, with a juicy gooseberry palate and lingering finish. Pair it with your
favourite seafood and pasta dishes. The fruit for this wine was grown in four Wairarapa vineyards, each with
differing soils. One is stony loams, from which this wine is predominantly
produced, while the others are a mixture of silt loams and hillside clays. This
variety provides different flavour profiles, which helps us to increase the
complexity of the finished wine. These vines are relatively young, and are
cropped at low yield levels to give intensely flavoured grapes.
The focus in the winery is to capture the pure fruit flavours that come from the
vineyard, whilst adding complexity through our winemaking efforts to produce
a multi-dimensional wine. This is achieved by tank fermenting the juice using
yeasts that are able to ferment at low temperatures – preserving the essential
fruit flavours.

Recas are now recognised globally for their impressive scale and breadth of fascinating wines, including natural and orange wine from organic grapes. Despite the scale the emphasis is on making good wines that over-deliver, and as a result they’ve struck on a magic formula that has seen sales and demand boom. Vineyards are a combination of evolved plantings from 1447 and more recent planting, whilst the winery has seen significant investment and boasts state of the art facilities where innovation thrives. Recas are in every way a modern, dynamic winery, whose open minded approach and quality sets them apart … a winery you really can’t ignore.ViticultureDensely planted on hilly sites surrounding the winery at an altitude of 100m, the vines average 10 years old. Trained using the Guyot method. Drip irrigation is used if absolutely necessary though is by no means used every year.Winemaking100% handpicked estate grown fruit was harvested and taken quickly to the winery where it was gently destemmed and crushed. Cooled immediately to 8°C, the grapes were then pressed in a vacuum press under nitrogen to prevent oxidation, before being transferred to decantation tanks for 24 hours until completely clarified. Inoculated with selected yeast, the wine was fermented in stainless steel at very low temperatures between 8 and 10°C for 25 days, before clarification and bottling.

Best served at 7º–10ºCThe vineyards are distributed among three major sectors of the Coastal Mountain Range in Leyda, Lo Abarca, and Rosario, although newer areas are constantly appearing. The region´s mountainous topography, it is cool climate, and its distinctively thin and rocky soil, produce white wines known by its minerality and an intense acidity. Fundo Rosario vineyards are located 250m above sea level in the Lagunilla zone. The vines are clone 242, vertically positioned, drip irrigated, and primarily planted on hillsides. The mountainous topography of the region, its fresh climate and its particular rocky and thin soil, produce white wines famous for their minerality and intense acidity. The grapes are machine harvested at night to take advantage of the naturally low temperatures and transported to the winery, where they are deposited into a pneumatic press. After pressing, the must is decanted and prepared for alcoholic fermentation by adjusting the turbidity level to 100 NTU and inoculating the tank with selected yeasts. Fermentation begins at 15ºC and finished at 16º–17ºC. The tank is then chilled to aid in the decantation of the coarser lees, and after 2 days, the clean wine is racked to tanks for aging. During this time, its lees are maintained in suspension for 3 months, which encourages the development of fatty and aromatic compounds and delivery of greater complexity to the wine.
