After barrel aging for 18 months, the 2022 GSM….Grenache Syrah Mouvedrè…was ready to be bottled. Stocked on our first GSM. Patience though, needs some chill in the bottle before the lusciousness can be shared.

And just like that, the last punchdown of 2023 is in the books. In 2022 the last punchdown was October 5th. It’s Momma Nature’s lead in the dance of harvest.
