Harvest

Tons 8.39

Harvest Date  10/18/2022

Harvest Method:  Machine Picked

Vintage Notes: 'Cool & We'.  The 2022 season started off with a very late spring freeze, essentially killing off all bud growth.  This was followed by a second crop that began mid-end of May, thus beginning our season.  Due to this late start we had a shorter growing season that resulted in a cool and wet vintage. 

PH @ Harvest  3.4

Brix @ Harvest  23.1

Winemaker Notes:

This fruit was derived from 12 rows where Arched Canes were trellised in Blocks 12 & 14 continuously, Clone 115.  These vines yielded higher crop loads than their neighboring vines with traditional trellising.  This is the first year in this experimental production method.  This fruit came in overripe so we complemented it with fruit from Block 9 and 7E, our Pommard and older 115 Blocks, with lower brix and higher acid to round out the final wine.
