WINEMAKING
Fruit was hand-picked from our single 2.15 acre vineyard block on November 8th, 2021 and berry sorted. Fruit was broken into small batches, cold soaked on the skins for four days and fermented for an additional 21 days on the skins in tank with twice daily pump overs. The batches were then barrel aged for 18 months in 30% new French oak and blended prior to bottling. Unfiltered.

2022 VINTAGE REVIEW
An interesting year to say the least! It started out very cool, and delayed. It felt like we were playing catch up until August, from managing exponential growth when the heat finally hit in July, to waiting for veraison which was slightly later than normal. We thoroughly enjoyed the long, warm end to summer and fall which kept fruit ripening on the vine through October. The early stress was worth it, we expect this will be one of our best vintages.
