Clean and expressive, the nose reveals aromas of honeydew, fresh thyme, basil, and subtle hints of orange. The palate is generous and fruit-driven, with fine bubbles and vibrant acidity providing structure and lift. Layers of melon, citrus, and stone fruit unfold across the palate, creating both richness and freshness. The finish is long and polished, with persistent texture and elegant balance.
The 2022 growing season was full of surprises that resulted in a miracle harvest of delicious, age-worthy wines with balance and vibrancy. The vintage kicked off with a cold and wet spring that turned worrisome when an unusually late-season freeze event affected lower-lying vineyards of the vineyard. Slowly but surely, temperatures began to warm by mid- May and continued to rise throughout the summer allowing the vines to flourish. Harvest commenced on September 19, almost four weeks behind recent vintages. Fortunately, moderate temperatures and clear skies facilitated a steady intake of fruit until finished on October 21.
