Guía Peñín – September 2020

Vintage 2017

A hot and dry year, marked by average and maximum temperatures above the values for the last ten years, along with a low level or rains. Nevertheless, it was under these conditions that our vineyards and vines showed our incredible capacity, not only to survive, but also to give us a small amount of extremely high quality. One of the earliest, short harvests that we can remember.
