Vintage Report

Cooler-than-usual spring weather delayed budburst but was followed by warm and dry flowering conditions, which led to exceptional fruit set in all varieties. Careful vineyard management with precision pruning and crop thinning yielded high quality grape clusters. Harvest began in mid-September and ended the second week of November. The young wines are showing promise with the whites displaying bright fruitiness and refreshing crispness and the reds showing excellent fruit structure and balanced tannins.

Tasting Notes

Unoaked. Crisp and refreshing with bright citrus and pineapple notes.
