Vintage Notes: Extremely dry autumn, where the soils could not be filled with water. In January and February, the plant was able to have a good winter rest during the pruning period.
The early spring continued without rain. The extreme drought affected the estate, the forest and the vineyards and provoked a strong attack by the roe deer, which ate 90% of the shoots, causing a loss of production of between 60 and 80%. The rains at the end of May and the beginning of spring allowed a strong regrowth of the vineyard and a good vegetative development.
Dry and extremely hot summer. However, some occasional rains helped the grapes to develop well. The harvest began on 6 September at the estate. The grapes were extremely healthy, with a good balance of alcohol and acidity due to the concentration, with a voluminous entry, fresh and long finish.
Winemaking Notes: Fermentation takes place with native yeasts in 20% cement tanks and 80% in stainless steel tank. Aged for 4 months on the lees.
