THE 2024 VINTAGE
The 2024 vintage began with a harsh January freeze, bringing several days of sub-zero temperatures. Despite early concerns, the warm, dry spring weather helped resilient vines recover, with most sites achieving normal yields. Harvest conditions were ideal—mild and consistent—allowing fruit to hang longer and be picked at peak ripeness. Though the season started with uncertainty, it ended with excellent quality and surprising yields, a testament to the resilience of the vines and thoughtful vineyard management.
