About this wine
Vineyard and terroir

Vintage notes
The 2022 growing season began with a relatively dry, warmer-than-average winter. Spring brought little rain, while temperatures rose in early May. Rain in mid-August moderated the heat, rehydrated the grapes and encouraged balanced sugar and acidity. Mild, dry and fresh conditions then supported complete ripening and concentrated aromatic potential.
