2022 Vintage Recap: The “the tale of two harvests.” With climate variability as the new normal, 2022 faced triple digit heat over five days in September quickly followed by rain that brought harvest to a sudden halt. The typical gap between the white and red wine harvest was almost nonexistent, and the frenzied tempo continued until the rains provided a much-needed break. Following the rain, grapes left to hang through October enjoyed mild weather days that allowed for perfect ripeness.
2022 white wines having perfect acidity and freshness with remarkable flavors and textures, and red wines as excellent structured with deep red colors, luxurious tannins and exquisite fruit-forward aromatics. The unique weather events that defined the vintage showcase the full range of flavors that Napa Valley wines are so well known for from crisp and vibrant to dense and powerful.
Tasting Notes: This dry and fragrant white wine with its crisp dryness, light body and mellow color is sure to please as is typical of Witchery Sauvignon Blanc varietals of the past. A classic nose of high-toned citrus, stone fruits, lime blossoms, and wet stone lead into a refreshing palate full of energetic fruit, keen acidity, and a mineral-laced finish. An inviting and electric expression of California sunshine in the glass.
