Vintage NotesThe 2024 vintage began with a calm spring, allowing flowering to proceed smoothly. While rainfall was slightly above average through early summer, careful vineyard management kept disease pressure under control. February and March brought ideal ripening conditions, with hot, dry weather accelerating veraison and harvest. Picking began 10 days earlier than the previous year, with strong yields and excellent fruit quality across all blocks.
