2022 Vintage Update

2022 Vintage Update

 

The growing season leading into the 2022 vintage was a blessing, with above average, soaking winter rains followed by above average early spring rainfall, filling the soil profile for the first time in years. A significant hailstorm on the 28th October and wet, windy and cold flowering conditions reduced potential yield. December 2021 through harvest was cool and dry, which delayed harvest but allowed for the fruit to evenly ripen on the vine while maintaining great fruit condition. Albeit final yields were reduced by 30%, the richness and power of the wines combined with freshness and purity from the cooler season, has made for back to back great vintages.
