Firetree Vineyards
California, USA
For many years, the Jimenez family has dreamt of owning a vineyard and making wine in California. Having traveled to many of the world’s premier wine regions in France, Spain, Italy, and Argentina, Ricardo and Dayva fell in love with wine’s natural ability to bond generations and tell the story of a family across several lifetimes. It was during one particular visit to Napa Valley in 2021 when the Jimenez family’s dream became a reality and they had the opportunity to purchase Firetree Vineyard from Silverado Vineyards. Their oldest daughter Sophya, who is deeply in love with botany and has expressed an interest in viticulture, was a driving force in the family’s decision to take the leap of faith and begin their journey as Napa Valley vintners. With devotion and admiration for the art and science of wine, the Jimenez family is pursuing their dreams in Los Carneros with two Firetree Family Vineyards Estate Chardonnays, each one reminiscent of the wines they enjoy from Burgundy.
