    Estate & Terroir
    The vineyard sits behind a century-old stone wall on the historic family estate, surrounded by French-style gardens. Its northern latitude and elevation delay ripening, enhancing acidity and tannin complexity. The 2015 vintage was marked by a wet winter and a cool, dry August–September, resulting in optimal grape maturation.
