Story 📖: Amevive crafts biodynamic wines that clearly express the Santa Barbara terroir. ‘Ravie’ means “delighted” in the feminine form of French, perfectly capturing the wine’s joyful, lively character.

The grapes were harvested and fermented separately with a high percentage of whole clusters, pressed in a basket press, and aged for 10 months in neutral French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it captures purity and energy in every sip.

Pairing 🍽: Grilled chorizo tacos with fresh salsa verde
