Vintage notes
The 2025 growing season was notably balanced. Abundant spring rainfall established water reserves, followed by a cool summer with occasional showers. June was warmer than the seasonal norm, but rain in early July restored temperatures consistent with a milder summer. The harvested grapes combined strong ripeness, fruit character, acidity and flavour.
