The 2024 growing season was shaped by warmer-than-average temperatures, with budbreak occurring two to three weeks earlier than in 2023. White grapes stood out with impressive cluster weight, while in some regions, cooler yet sunny conditions extended hangtime, enhancing flavor development. Harvested occurred from late August through September across California, benefitting from steady warmth. The resulting wines display vibrant aromatics, rich textures and balanced acidity, making 2024 a standout vintage for expressive, layered white wines.
