🍇Happy National Pinot Noir Day! 🍷Ever heard the term “diurnal shift”? It’s the daily swing between daytime and nighttime temperatures—and it’s the secret to our elegant, vibrant, and structured wines here at LucidWild Estate. In the Dundee Hills, this diurnal shift is dramatic. A crisp 55°F morning can lead to a sun-drenched 80°F afternoon, only to cool back down to 55°F at night. This daily dance is crucial. Warm afternoons allow our grapes to develop rich flavors and sugars, while cool nights slow the ripening process, preserving their essential acidity. This perfect balance of sun and rest gives LucidWild wines their vibrant structure, elegance, and beautiful aging potential. Cheers from LucidWild Estate!
