2023 VINTAGE OVERVIEW

A very cool Spring led into a very warm Summer. The heat persisted into August, reducing yields to miniscule volumes. A rich, yet very early, harvest. The pinot noirs are delicate and generous. Low alcohols are a feature. The Rieslings are opulent with great texture and subliminal acidity.
