The 2023 growing season started with a cool, wet winter, followed by a moderate spring, which delayed budbreak and bloom across several regions. Some vineyards were two to four weeks behind typical schedules, creating a unique timeline for harvest. Our team began picking in mid-September, progressing steadily from northern to southern blocks, with full harvest underway by October. A series of warm spells helped push the grapes to peak ripeness. Careful vineyard practices, including strategic leafing and crop adjustments, were essential this year, resulting in red wines with deep color and intensity, and white wines with fresh aromatics and lively acidity.
