Description

The 2022 vintage started off with an unusual frost right at budbreak in April of 2022. After the frost we had one of the rainiest springs ever in the Willamette Valley which made growth slow quite a bit. But, as spring turned to summer things started becoming more positive. We had perfect weather during bloom and great fruit set on the shoots that survived the frost. We had nice temperatures in the summer months; however, because of the cold and rainy spring, we had one of the latest harvests in a decade. We had a nice extended and sunny fall and we were able to let the fruit develop nicely until it was ready to be picked.
