Vintage

The 2022 climate season began with a cold and dry winter.

A lack of rain characterized the following months, until mid-August;

the months of June and July reached temperatures above the historical

average. Despite the characteristics of this season, the vines managed

to self-regulate, facing the hottest months as best they could and presenting

themselves in an ideal vegetative and productive state at the beginning of veraison. The rains and the

drop in temperatures in mid-August allowed the grapes to begin

ripening optimally, and the excellent weather conditions of the autumn months

guaranteed a harvest with high quality potential.
