CLIMATIC CYCLE
419 mm. rainfall. Rainy winter and spring.
The harvest started with good water reserves. The whole cycle was ahead of time from the start. A very hot and dry summer. Maximum temperatures between 35ºC and 37ºC.
The balanced vineyards managed to endure the lack of rain. Some rainfall in mid-September which rounded ripening and put an end to water stress. Fantastic weather until harvest.
Excellent harvest.
