Growing Conditions
Abundant winter rainfall starting in December lasted until April. Multiple small rain events led to all the moisture soaking into the vineyard soil profile. No frost and a mild spring produced great fruit set. Judicious thinning coupled with a long warm summer led to an outstanding late harvest with excellent quality and yields.
