Vintage 2023

2023 was another dry and warm year. The first part of the year was very dry, and the vineyard showed very poor budbreak. This accumulated drought, combined with the unseasonably warm weather, caused flowering to be 15 days early, and the vines began to suffer prematurely. The turning point came in late spring in the form of rain. Between May and June, 150 liters fel in Poboleda, making all the difference for the rest of the year. The shoots doubled in length, the grapes swelled, and the vines regained strength and vigor. A couple of well-timed summer storms completed the picture and allowed the vineyard to reach the end of the ripening period in good condition.

Harvest 2023

The 2023 harvest began 10 days earlier than usual. However, the vines were well-laden with grapes and had ample water reserves, which allowed for a slower ripening process and prevented it from being rushed.
