Vintage 2023 | Power Wines
With the important exception of Petit Manseng, all our grapes are now picked. This year’s dry summer produced small grapes with concentrated flavors. The grapes were pristine, making harvest and sorting easy. The wines will be dense and powerful.
The last of the fermentations are nearly complete. The wines will then settle and fall clear. By December their personalities will emerge. We are anxious to share this vintage and are making plans to open our cellar this December for some sneak preview barrel tastings. We will send you details and reservation options soon.
