Winemaker Notes
The 2023 growing season was marked by a long, cool spring with plenty of rainfall. The wet weather and cool temps delayed bloom dates and pushed back the harvest timeline. A mild summer led to longer hang times and results of larger, healthier grape clusters making this 2023 season a robust and high-quality harvest.
