Hello Wine Enthusiasts, What a busy fall season it has been! We are thrilled to share some exciting updates from the vineyard.
So far we have harvested our blocks of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Just the Cabernet Franc grapes remain on the vine, enjoying the sun and developing fantastic flavors. Conditions were perfect this year for abundant and extraordinary fruit ripened to perfection. Our team has been working tirelessly, and the fruits of our labor are starting to take shape. Initial fermentation is well underway for the just harvested 2024 vintages of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Some will soon go into barrels for the long process of secondary fermentation and aging. Some Pinot Noir and Merlot were processed to be Rose and will age in stainless steel, as well as about half of the Chardonnay to be our “Field Trip” variety. We can’t wait to see how these wines develop over the coming months.
In other exciting news, we just finished bottling our 2023 Teacher’s Pet Chardonnay. It’s a vibrant and crisp vintage, perfect for any occasion, and we’re excited for you to try it! We will let you know the release date soon.
