Once settled, a portion of the wine was transferred to French oak barrels for fermentation, with the balance remaining in stainless steel tanks. The wine completed 100% malolactic fermentation and 8 months of aging prior to final blending and bottling.

The 2024 growing season began with abundant winter rains and a cool, steady spring that promoted healthy vine balance and ideal canopy development.
