The mild temperatures at the start of the season encouraged uniform shoot growth and healthy canopy development across the vineyards. As summer progressed, the region experienced a warm and dry stretch that proved ideal for grape maturation. Consistent sunshine and moderate to warm daytime temperatures allowed for steady ripening, while cooler nights helped retain natural acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"wine-stats\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcid:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e6.45 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBottle Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750mlml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e3.54\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e0.8 g\/L\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/main\u003e\u003cfooter id=\"colophon\" class=\"site-footer\"\u003e\u003c\/footer\u003e","brand":"Tinhorn Creek Winery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47766506242260,"sku":null,"price":27.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/7156\/8340\/files\/Screenshot2026-04-06113628.png?v=1775497001","url":"https:\/\/willowsbox.ca\/products\/tinhorn-creek-merlot-2023","provider":"The Willows Box \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
