Vintage: 2023 was a banner year for us. We had very good crop levels, plenty of heat to ripen properly and had a long season with extended hang time. The weather was very mild avoiding extremes of cold or heat. There 
were no frost scares at the start of the season and only two days at 
100 degrees in the entire growing season. All great wine is about balance. This year the beautiful array of aromatics, plush texture and the frame of acidity are seriously compelling.

Farming: Certified Organic farming is our baseline. High level ecidence supported nutritional farming is our ulimate focus. 

Aging Regime: 8 months in neutral French oak barrels

Alcohol: 13.5%

pH: 3.70

TA: 4.6 g/L
