 Place

Located right beside the winery, Mort’s Block vineyard provides the core for this wine, with fruit from our Morrison vineyard on the opposite hillside providing additional depth and complexity.

 Vintage Conditions

A dry cool autumn in 2021 lead into good winter rains. Above average spring falls gave way to a very cool, dry summer and autumn 2022. These conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes ,resulting in full flavors and good natural acidities while maintaining lower Baume’s (sugar) than previous vintages. Overall, conditions were ideal for the variety making it a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional.

Winemaking

Parcels were picked over the course of a week at ideal stages and were loaded directly into the waiting presses at the winery. The bright free run juice was allowed to drain and held separately, prior to gently pressing the grapes. Settled naturally, the clarified juice was allowed to warm and commence fermentation. The ferment was held at low temperatures to retain the soft aromas and fine acid line.
