Vintage Notes
• The 2024 Winter and Spring were cool (tracking 2019)
• July warmed up considerably with perfectly dry weather, and we had the now customary
bursts of heat in August
• The weather cooled down from late-August, more so than 2023, which allowed for a more
gentle post-veraison ripening
• This allowed the harvest date to be a bit later, while retaining freshness and tension
