Vintage 2023
2023 was another dry and warm year. The first part of the year was very rainy and the vines had a very poor budding. This accumulated drought and the abnormal heat for the time caused flowering to be advanced by 15 days and the plants began to suffer too early. The change came at the end of spring in the form of rain. Between the months of May and June, 150 liters fell in Poboleda and made the difference for the rest of the year. The vine shoots doubled in length, the grapes swelled and the plants regained strength and vigor. A couple of storms that fell well in the summer finished it off and allowed the vines to reach the end of ripening strong.

Harvest 2023
The 2023 harvest began 10 days earlier than usual. However, the plants were well loaded with grapes and had water reserves, which allowed ripening to be slower and not to be rushed any further.
