Winemaking Notes
The 2018 vintage played out like a dream for winemakers. Moderate temperatures through spring and summer brought about a slightly later harvest that was prolonged, with cooler temperatures during ripening. This allowed grapes to mature more slowly, yielding wines with more depth, flavor concentration and supple texture.
