Vintage details
Cold and wet winter, Slow bursting, ideal veraison Low rainfall caused less intensive budburst and reduced primary shoots growth. Only 369 litres were recorded, mostly in spring, but also in early September. Spring rain enabled a healthy flowering, followed by a heatwave in the end of June. Early September rains allowed good conditions for the grapes to ripen. The vineyards lower yields combined with limited rainfall, allowed us to maintain a good balance between acids and sugars.
