Production Details The 2024 vintage was marked by a wet winter and spring, fostering vigorous vineyard growth, while challenging weather during flowering resulted in lower yields. All fruit was whole bunch pressed and 100% wild fermented and matured in 400- and 500L French barrels (20% of which was new barrels, light toast). The wine spent nine months on its lees before blending and bottling.
