VINTAGE
The 2024 growing season featured a second winter of heavy rainfall (35 inches),
which benefited vine growth. Spring stayed cool, with temperatures under 80°F
through May, leading to a warm summer and early September heat that sped up
Sauvignon Blanc ripening. Despite favorable weather, yields were lower due to
cool, cloudy conditions in 2023 that impacted bud development.
WINEMAKING
Grapes are gently pressed in a state-of-the-art membrane tank press, ensuring
minimal extraction of harsh phenolics and maintaining delicate aromatics.
The resulting juice is immediately chilled in stainless steel tanks, which helps
retain freshness and prevents oxidation. Following this, the juice is carefully
racked into additional stainless steel tanks where it undergoes a controlled cold
fermentation and subsequent aging. This precise process allows the wine to
express its bright, varietal character while maintaining a clean, crisp profile.
