Guía Peñín – 2019

Vintage 2015

Moderate winter with a single snowfall in February. Spring with barely any rain and high average temperatures. The 60 liters per square meter that fell in June allowed us to face a July with a heat wave and more temperate and dry August and September. Harvest from the 15 September through 25 October. Without any rush, but without any breaks either. A relaxed harvest.
