We are pleased to offer the following wines for your current Pas De Nom allocation.
The 2023 growing season started with a cool spring causing a delayed budbreak. Warmer temperatures quickly followed, resulting in one of the shortest periods between budbreak and flowering in our history. The canopies thrived, and disease pressure remained low. A warm summer enabled the growing season to progress quickly. Harvest began earlier than anticipated, with excellent flavor development observed. The resulting wines exhibit a beautiful balance of acidity, structure, and fruit.
