Vintage description
The grape harvest started a little earlier than in the previous year, the main harvest took place between mid-September and the first week of October, the grapes were very ripe and healthy. Due to the heat, the berries were smaller, resulting in lower juice yields, but also more concentrated, denser and, in the case of the red wines, darker wines.
