Vintage

The opening months of the season were generous in rainfall, reaching 302 mm which allowed a good accumulation of water for the rest of the season. As has been the trend in recent years, spring turned out to be warmer than the historical average, bringing bud break to unfold around seven days earlier than estimated. However, the course of temperatures shifted notoriously from November, and, just like the previous season, we witnessed the arrival of cooler temperatures than average during the summertime, which even extended into early fall. This scenario slowed down the ripening of our grapes, which made the most out of this slow pace to reach astounding quality. By the end of the season, the recorded heat summation confirmed us it was indeed a slightly cooler vintage than average. Yields across the different varieties were barely lower than the previous season, within the estimated ranges that ensure a positive vintage
