-Winemaking-

The 2024 growing season was pretty normal with spring rains and a warm growing conditions for the well-drained soils. Excellent weather conditions during harvest allowed the grapes to reach full ripeness with balanced acids. Harvest began the last week of August and lasted 9 days with exceptional quality.

The grapes exhibited superb rounded flavors, intense aromatics, and bright acids. Temperature controlled fermentation occurred in stainless steel tanks to ensure true varietal flavors. This wine was bottled a few months after harvest without any oak aging or malolactic fermentation to capture its purity and refreshing essence.
