Harvest 2020:
The winter of moderate temperatures allowed for an early bud break and a long vegetative cycle bud break, providing a long vegetative cycle conducive to the correct ripening of the fruit. The rainy spring helped to maintain the water reserve during most of the summer. The final phase was accompanied by little rainfall, which meant that health was very favourable and the dreaded grey rot did not appear. The harvest quality and yield of the vines was outstanding.
