2012 was a spectacular growing season for most varietals and the warm, even temperatures throughout the season allowed our cool-climate Riesling to attain a high level of ripeness. A brief fall rain seemed ideal for the cultivation of the 'Noble Rot' botrytis but the brief wet spell was followed by warm days and a strong wind that inhibited the growth of the mold. Continued warm temperatures caused some dehydration of the berries and further concentration of sugar. By the time optimal flavors were developed in the berries only a very tiny percentage of the grapes were infected with the Noble Rot but the flavors were so stunning that we decided to harvest the crop.
