The 2022 vintage started with a cool dry winter followed by a wet spring which slowed down the growth and berry development. Summer was dry, benign and a hot spell during January led to picking in February. The 2022 Corduroy aroma reminds me of white nectarine, grapefruit, almond meal, white flowers and a touch of vanillin. Fine boned with pithy grapefruit, melon and brioche showing in a fleshy palate. A touch of classy vanillan and bacon oak adds complexity.
