LangeTwins 2024 Red Blend - Redtail Vineyard

This 2024 single vineyard blend strikes a beautiful balance between Old World character and New World fruit. Fresh aromas of mixed berries, cranberry, and rich Luxardo-style dark cocktail cherry lead into a complex, layered palate. As it opens, a generous mouthfeel and long finish add depth while keeping the wine approachable and beautifully balanced. 44% Primitivo. 30% Ancellotta, 26% Nero d’Avola

The 2024 growing season was marked by significant climatic events that influenced vine development and fruit quality. A wet winter and early spring provided ample soil moisture, delaying bud break slightly but ensuring healthy canopy growth. Moderate temperatures in April and May allowed for an even and successful fruit set with minimal shatter and occasional spring rains helped sustain vine vigor without excessive disease pressure. An extraordinary heat wave commenced in June, with temperatures soaring in July. This intense heat temporarily stalled vine growth; however, grape skins and acidity levels remained intact, leading to a higher quality harvested compared to previous years. The heat wave also accelerated sugar accumulation in grapes, resulting in an earlier start to crush. White grape yields were smaller while red varietals produced average yields.
