Vintage Notes

The 2024 year began with lower-than-average rainfall in the spring, followed by intense summer heat waves. This resulted in fruit with remarkably concentrated flavors and beautiful profiles. The Reds are dark and complex, the Whites are aromatic and intense. As the complexity and concentration of the fruit reached optimal levels, our crews worked diligently to ensure a timely harvest at peak conditions. The 2024 harvest was short but intense, yielding a fantastic vintage with amazing potential. We're all very excited to share the results with you.
