Winemaker Notes
We ferment our rosé in multiple small lots, utilizing different extraction and fermentation methods on each, providing for the greatest expression of our estate vineyard. In 2024, we made a few notable changes, adding more early-picked Malbec to the blend, with skin contact Merlot to drive additional color and depth. We chose to direct-press the Malbec to capture bright acidity and fresh citrus and stone fruit aromas. Overall, this vintage has a bit more tension from the acid and tannin balance, coming from the cool evenings and very dry season. The stone fruit and melon notes play a leading role, edging the berry character to the side, just a bit. This wine reflects our classic style—fresh, energetic and thirst quenching.
Vineyard Notes
2024 was an exciting vintage with balanced whites and reds, featuring intensity and richness. After a very mild winter, we saw warm and dry days throughout the spring, with no frost events, leading into bloom time. Temperate weather throughout bloom resulted in very full clusters. As the season progressed, we continued to experience very hot and dry days along with cool nights, allowing for steady sugar accumulation and good acid retention, as well as smaller berries, allowing for greater skin to juice ratios. With this exceptional season for ripening, our harvest started on the earlier side and provided wines with phenological ripeness and aromatic complexity.
