Production Details After a cold winter with replenishing rainfall, the vineyards thrived leading up to the 2024 harvest. Moderate day temperatures and cool nights in spring and early summer helped develop diverse grape flavors and retain high natural acidities. Picking started on February 13, 2024. Despite unseasonal torrential rain towards the end of the harvest, logistical planning ensured the grapes reached the cellar in healthy condition. Each vineyard block was individually handled from harvest to fermentation, with gentle pressing and careful fruit handling. To enhance complexity and richness, 5% Sémillon, fermented and aged in 2500L foudres, was blended into the Sauvignon Blanc.
