Vintage Notes
2021 was an ideal year for grape-growing in the northern Willamette Valley. The sun shone for most of April and May with well-timed precipitation to support vine growth. Flowering was clear and sunny and occurred before the “heat dome” of late June –avoiding any excessive stress on the plants during fertilization. Heat events later in the summer occurred in graceful sync with the fruit development and never caused unneeded stress on the plants. The continued trend of warm summers meant that harvest was once again predominantly in September.
