CLIMATIC TREND
The spring rains allowed the vines to draw on good reserves of water and
mineral nutrients during the warmer months. In addition, temperatures
dropped considerably at night, with an important temperature range that
allowed for regular phenolic development. The bunches brought to the cellar
maintained perfect integrity so as to express the great character of the grape
variety.
