Vessel:
Historical sources indicate barrel involvement; one older note mentions partial barrel fermentation and partial stainless steel fermentation.
About the winery · Ravenswood ›

Ravenswood was founded by Joel Peterson in 1976 and became closely associated with California Zinfandel. The winery's own history describes Peterson as a key figure in revitalizing Zinfandel through site-specific Sonoma County wines. GALLO has since relaunched Ravenswood with a modern, Zinfandel-focused portfolio beginning with the 2023 vintage. Because the current producer site does not list Chardonnay, Ravenswood Vintners Blend Chardonnay appears to be a legacy or retail-channel SKU rather than part of the current featured Ravenswood portfolio.
