The final wine was put down for a seven month slumber in stainless steel with a touch of oak influence. 2022 had a late start but made up for it by being our 2nd hottest summer on record! Grapes were chilling on the vine so long into October we thought we were going to have to make them Halloween costumes! But the weather stayed nice and dry till the end and we had gorgeous, gorgeous fruit to make gorgeous, gorgeous wines!

A foodies delight, this wine pairs with darn near everything! Pumpkin chipotle soup, glazed pork chops, wild mushroom risotto, even a decadent dark chocolate torte!
