Tasting Notes
Shimmering pale-gold in the glass, the 2024
Malvasia Bianca opens with perfumed orange
blossom, jasmine, and honeysuckle aromas,
accented by pear, peach, and lychee. The
palate is vibrant and expressive, offering layers
of mango, guava, and melon framed by lively
acidity and a supple, honeyed-texture. Notes of
citrus zest and delicate spice extend through
the crisp, clean finish. Elegant yet exuberant,
this wine captures the richness and balance of
Napa Valley’s 2024 vintage—fresh, aromatic,
and full of life.

Winemaking
Fruit was hand-harvested in the cool early mornings to maintain natural aromatics, then gently destemmed and pressed. Fermentation took place slowly at low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to capture the full spectrum of floral and fruit notes. The process was carefully halted at just the right point to preserve a hint of natural sweetness, balancing the bright acidity and amplifying the wine’s lush texture and aromatic lift.
Vintage
The 2024 growing season was a quintessential Napa Valley year—blending boldness with poise. Abundant winter rains replenished vineyard soils and supported vigorous canopy growth, providing natural protection during the season’s many warm days. While the valley saw over 30 days above 100°F, the early rains and healthy vine canopies kept fruit balanced and vibrant. Harvest arrived earlier than in 2023, with mild nights preserving acidity and aromatics. The result is a white wine of remarkable freshness, purity, and expressive flavor— a testament to an ideal growing season requiring little intervention in the cellar.
