2017

Climate

The growing season was hotter than usual and faced difficulties with two heavy rainfalls, followed by a long period of moisture that required a quick harvest.

Harvest and winemaking

All of our grapes are handpicked over a 3 week period and included the first year of our new 828 and 943 clones. The wines had an average of 22 days on skins with an average of 10% whole bunch. Most of the wines are fermented with indigenous yeast from the vineyard.
