2022 Nota Bene 1.5L Magnum

The 2022 growing season started with temperatures well below seasonal averages in May and June, while rainfall was plentiful. The cool and damp spring delayed budburst and shoot development, and as a result flowering and fruit set occurred up to three weeks later than average. July and August brought a return to more typical weather conditions with warm temperatures, clear skies, and very little rain. This allowed the vines to thrive and make up for any lost ripening time. A warm and dry fall enabled extended hang time, allowing the grapes to reach excellent levels of ripeness. The 2022 wines are textural and elegant, showing great aromatic intensity, vibrant fruit characters, and bright acidity.
