The 2020 vintage is characterized by a very dry winter with just half of the region’s typical rainfall followed by a warmer-than-usual summer. The season was prolonged with bud break and flowering happening a week earlier than 2019. Harvest started a week later than average for our sparkling and Rosé grapes. The cold nights and intense marine layers allowed this extremely slow reopening which resulted in an extreme layering of flavors and complexity for all of our 2020 wines.
