Growing Conditions
2020 saw extremes on either end of the growing season. Spring and summer were close to flawless. Warm, dry conditions pushed ripening along at a faster than average pace, but dewy mornings necessitated leaf pulling to promote air circulation. Grapes for sparkling, whites and rosé were all picked under ideal, sunny conditions with many lots at record ripeness. In mid-late October, however, Mother Nature gifted us with three weeks of heavy intermittent rainfall that proved challenging for our red wine harvest.
