CLIMATIC CYCLE
Spring and autumn were extraordinary warm, but summer was cooler than usual.
The rains concentrated during the winter months, which provided enough reserves to the plant to finish a good cycle. There were small rains in September that provided the final push to the plants.
During the harvest season there was a small thermal jump, there were rains at the end of the harvest, but they did not affect us. The health of the grape was perfect and the harvest was staggered.
