Winemaking & vintage

Harvest:

It has been an absolutely extreme year in terms of temperatures. Although autumn and winter in line with recent years, in May they began to shoot up, raising the annual average by 15.8°C (0.6°C more than the average of the last decade). There have been several heatwaves with extreme temperatures and both daily maximum and minimum temperatures have risen. It has also been a year with extremely low rainfall with a total of 693L in 24 months distributed very irregularly throughout the year. Autumn and spring with less than usual rainfall and a summer with extremely low rainfall (-40%)

Vine Health has once again been excellent. Vegetative growth was very good, due to winter rains, but stopped in May due to temperatures the plant cycle shortened and we ended up with grapes ripening seven days before the last harvest and about 10-12 days earlier than would be normal for recent years.

The resulting wines have a slightly higher pH, more contained acidity and a slightly lower alcohol content. They are fruitier wines with a certain volume
