Vintage Factors

Total yields were adversely impacted by April frosts and heavy rains through June. Even so, we undertook customary manual crop reductions to produce the highest quality fruit. We were rewarded by weather of ideal fruit development in the final two months of the season. From early August and extending deep into September, the vineyard enjoyed lavish sunlight, heat, and dry conditions. The whites show beautiful aromatics, refreshing acidity, and fine structure for aging, especially in Vermentino.
