In 2022, higher mid-winter rainfall and a cold, windy spring led to a moderate crop level. Downy mildew appeared in the vineyard due to rain and humidity in January and February. The vintage experienced a cool and humid summer influenced by La Nina, resulting in a delayed harvest compared to recent years. However, the wines showcased a newfound brightness and good acidity, reminiscent of past vintages.

Food Pairing: It pairs wonderfully with red meat dishes, such as a succulent grilled steak or a flavorful rack of lamb. The wine's bold flavors and structured tannins complement the richness of the meats, creating a harmonious pairing.
