The 2023 Vintage

A remarkably cold and wet winter in Paso Robles led to an exceptionally long, cool growing season that pushed the harvest back into late October. This extraordinary, extended hang-time allowed the Grenache Blanc to develop immense flavor concentration and complex aromatics while locking in the piercing, energetic acidity that makes this specific vintage so structurally exceptional.
