Vineyard Notes
The 2024 vintage featured an extended warm and dry period following reasonable winter rains and an early bud burst. The season experienced warmer-than-usual temperatures, promoting even and early ripening. Harvesting commenced early and finished before Easter. Overall, the reds stand out for their fruit weight, vibrancy, and significant but fine tannins.
Production Notes
2023: Despite a cool start to spring, flowering and fruit set were even across all varieties. November heralded the beginning of a glorious run of weather. Days were warm but never hot, and temperatures dropped nicely into the evenings, allowing gradual ripening and acid retention in the grapes.
