2023 Vintage Report: A very cold and wet Spring delayed budbreak in 2023 until the beginning of May (one of the latest we've seen at Trisaetum), but a warm and very sunny May/June saw the vines quickly make up ground. Throughout the summer the weather was beautiful and ideal for fruit set, véraison and flavor development. Harvest commenced at Trisaetum on September 6th with our first sparkling pick. Pinot Noir was harvested from September 12th through September 22nd...a fast and furious 10-day period that filled the tank hall to the brim. With long hang times and plenty of dry days from which to harvest perfectly ripe fruit, winemakers are understandably quite enthusiastic about the 2023 vintage.
