Vintage Notes
2024 started two weeks early in comparison to other vintages, a warm stretch through March allowed the vines to wake up and undergo budbreak earlier than expected. This vintage is defined by two things the diurnal shifts and the near drought like conditions. Diurnal shifts are the warm day time temperatures coupled with the cool night time temperatures. The second were the drought conditions, record low rainfall lead to smaller berries and increased concentration in the wines. This created an environment that is conducive to great ripeness and great acidity in the wines. The reds are bright, fruity, and structured, and the whites are elegant and crisp. An exciting vintage that will produce wines with great age-ability.
Vineyard & Soil
This vineyard was planted in 1999, and is grown in the block planted farthest from the lake. This vineyard sees the lease lake effect in the summer, leading to a warmer microclimate through the growing season. Grown primarily on a Howard Gravelly Loam soil time, this block features a glacial deposit over a sandy bedrock with high amounts of limestone. This block often produces a Riesling that has notes of green apple and an intense minerality.
