Winemakers Comments
The 2023 season was a warm, late vintage where growers had to be alert to disease pressures and proactive in managing their vineyards. However, careful attention was rewarded with delicious fruit flavors. The season finished long and dry, leaving berries ripe and generously flavored. This wine was made from fruit grown in Marlborough’s Southern Valleys where the northwest facing slopes and clay-based soils provide great conditions for growing Pinot Noir. It was fermented in a mix of stainless steel and oak barrels, and aged for eleven months before being bottled under screwcap for maximum freshness.
