Robert Mondavi WineryRobert Mondavi Winery is located in the heart of Napa Valley, California. The first major winery built in Napa Valley in the post-Prohibition era, Robert Mondavi Winery helped establish the foundation for the modern-day California wine business. Its mission-style architecture, with the expansive archway and bell tower designed by Cliff May, has become an enduring landmark that evokes California's winemaking history. The Robert Mondavi Winery is recognized nationally and internationally as a leader in the wine industry. From the introduction of cold fermentation in stainless steel tanks and the use of French oak barrels in the late 1960s, to collaboration with NASA using aerial imaging to understand the health and vigor of the vines in the 1990s, the Robert Mondavi Winery has always been at the forefront of wine industry technology. Our innovations, such as gentle winemaking techniques to increase wine quality and natural farming to protect people and the environment, have led to fundamental changes in the industry’s approach to winegrowing. The winery's To Kalon Cellar represents our vision of a winemaking facility equal to the superior quality of the grapes from the winery's To Kalon Vineyard. The cellar's state-of-the-art, gravity-flow design features a return to oak fermentation for the winery's Reserve, District and vineyard-designated red wines. Robert Mondavi pioneered the move to stainless steel fermentation in the 1960s, and today, we believe a return to oak fermentation enhances aromas, flavors and complexity in the winery's red wines. |
