Spring and first part of summer were rather cool and rainy, so that the beginning of the veraison happened around three weeks later than average. The rest of the summer has been regularly hot, with considerable temperature gap between night and day. Ripening process has been optimal, but later than usual.
Very well balanced conditions throughout the whole production season. Winter has been rather rainy while spring has seen an high solar irradation and lots of winds. Summer has been dry, hot and sunny. Low humidity values made easy controlling vines health. Finally we had the right amount of rain in September and October for an optimal final ripening process of grapes. Late harvesting.
A well balanced vintage. Spring was rather cool with a perfect amount of rain, Summer has been dry, but not too warm. While in September and October we had less rain than average and a wide range of temperatures between night and day. Phonelogical phases occured later than previous vintages, but ripening status has been optimal for all varietals. Late harvesting.
Water scarcity was the key theme of the whole season. With drought conditions it rained little in winter and through the summer. Very hot temperatures, especially in July and August. Some frosts at the end of April caused a reduction in yield. Auspicious rains at the beginning of September helped the grapes to complete their ripening in a well balanced and timed manner.
Characterized by a cool and rainy second part of spring, that yield to an intense labor in the vineyards for preventivng issues caused by downy mildew. Summer temperatures were rather regular and not too hot, being just in the usual average for the season. Phenological phases have been regular in spite of the final dry months.
Bunches were healthy and perfectly ripened.
Characterized by a temperate and dry winter and a slightly cooler than average and rainy spring. These conditions yield to a delay of about ten days in phenological phases. The whole summer has been rather warm and dry, without getting extremely hot. At the end of the summer and then in autumn we had a very good and wide temperature gap between night and day,
Rainy and cold winter, that slided into a cool spring, causing a lag in phenological phases. This was helpful because of a late frost on 8th of April. Second part of spring an summer were warm instead, withouth getting too hot. Ripening was later than average, but grapes were really wealthy.

Lack of water has been costant throughout the year. Since beginning of winter we have suffered a lack of water. First part of spring has been rather cool, leading to a delay in phrnologial phases. Second half of spring and whole summer have bee hot and really dry. But September brought just the right amount of rain to end the ripening process of then ealthy grapes.
Much lower than normal grape yields but of excellent quality. Winter with mild temperatures, early spring with normal temperatures and rainfall and regular vegetation development. Second half of spring and early summer with very frequent rainfall and low temperatures. Conditions that caused the slowdown of phenological stages, reduction of bunch weight and strong pressure of fungal infections on vegetation and grape production.
The summer then continued with normal temperatures and low rainfall. Slightly early harvest with optimal grape ripening and perfect health status.
