Harvest 2022: Officially rated as ‘Very Good’, it is characterised by wines with a high fruit content (black fruit), intense, with good structure, fine tannins and high ageing potential, despite demanding weather conditions. A hot, dry year with high temperatures in summer caused water stress in the vines. This resulted in uneven ripening, requiring a very selective harvest. The end result is mature, balanced wines with good intensity and a rounded palate.
