2018 Continuum shows energy and vigour. The wine expresses purity and precision, with high-toned aromas of red and blue fruit, deep plum and rose oil. This vintage shows approachable nerve from the earth in the refined mineral quality on the palate. The surrounding native bay and sage vegetation is highlighted by an earthy, savoury profile. This is a sparkling, silky, harmoniously integrated wine with densely packed fine-grained tannins. 2018 Continuum is a wine for the ages, delicious today with a long life ahead.
The vineyard covers 51 hectares (48 hectares for red and 3 hectares for white), with an average age of 40 years for reds and 30 years for whites. Production reaches 160 barrels per year for the red and 9 barrels for the white, depending on the year, which is 192,000 bottles for the red and 11,000 bottles for the white, and an average yield per hectare of 3,000 litres for the red and 2,800 for the white.
Contains sulphites.

Continuum is built on a dynamic and pioneering family history. Over more than a century, four generations of Mondavis have produced wines that have continually raised the bar of quality and prestige, propelling the family name to become synonymous with the sparkling promise of California wine.
Cesare Mondavi, an innovator, brought the family to America, to wine, and to the Napa Valley. His son Robert, a visionary, possessed a passion for excellence and a relentless ambition that transformed not only his family, but the entire wine world. Tim Mondavi, a virtuoso from a young age, joined the family business and blazed trails worldwide, developing world-class wines. Now, he and his sister Marcia Mondavi Borger, along with their grown children, have created Continuum, the Mondavi family’s new home, winemaking.
