Tech NotesVintage Notes:2023 experienced one of the longest growing seasons in a decade or more. Winter and spring rains led to healthy, saturated soils. The mild, warm summer weather supported healthy canopy growth through bloom and set. Relatively cool weather throughout the growing season in tandem with an abundance of sunshine allowed grape skins to ripen slowly. Harvest kicked off around Labor Day and wrapped up by mid-November. The long harvest season, which provided extended hang time to develop flavors leading to an exceptional, high-quality, memorable vintage.
