Production Details The 2024 overall Budding was earlier and more even than for the 2023 vintage, but the damage of the storms late September resulted in significantly lower yields. The Pinot noir handled the challenges of the growing season quite well under the circumstances, where the wet Winter and dry Summer resulted in small compact bunches with small berries for both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Early indications for the wines are for beautiful varietal expression, with good length and textured mouthfeel.
