Vendanges de 2022

Hot and dry viticultural year. A year characterized by the low rainfall throughout most of the growing season, and by the high temperatures registered in May, July, and August. Overall, the development of diseases (downy mildew and powdery mildew) was rare and conditioned by the weather conditions, which was reflected in a good phytosanitary quality. The lack of water and very high temperatures during the ripening period forced early harvests, which slowed down with the lower temperatures and the rainfall in early September. These events helped on quality but had little impact on quantity. The 2022 harvest resulted in musts with normal levels of sugar, total acidity, and phenolic compounds, for high quality wines.
