GROWING SEASON
“A Classic Napa Valley Vintage”
The 2024 growing season began with heavy winter rains, which soaked the soil and set the stage for healthy growth, preparing vines for heat waves in June and beyond. The season saw 38-40 days over 100°F, with winter moisture and canopy shade playing a key role in helping the vines withstand the extreme heat. Harvest started earlier than in 2023, with sparkling wine picked from August 2 to September 2. August offered optimal conditions, with cold nights that preserved the wines’ acidity. The still wine harvest began in mid-August and continued through October, with the vintage considered a classic Napa one, especially after three unusual years.
