Harvest 2023: A winter of mild temperatures stands out with early bud break due to the high spring temperatures. The frost on May 15 in the areas of Soria and Burgos reduced the harvest to around 30% in the D.O. Ribera del Duero, which, added to a low spring and summer rainfall and high water stress throughout the vegetative cycle, resulted in a vintage with a high concentration of berries, a high degree and short production. Healthy and relaxed harvest due to good weather conditions in September and October.
