Vintage Report

The season started later than normal with delayed bud burst and precipitation continuing into late spring. Warmer temperatures arrived and our viticulture team performed careful vineyard management ensuring ideal conditions for the grapes. A reduction of yields, canopy thinning and excellent weather followed in August and September which helped grapes to ripen fully. Harvest began on September 26th and ended on November 12th. Initial tastingshave revealed gorgeous wines with delightful fruit profiles, lowr sugars and balanced acidity.

Tasting Notes

Unoaked. Bright, clean and refreshing. Lovely notes of apple andpear with a long finish.
