Vintage 2024

2024 is the year in which the accumulated drought since 2020 is consolidated and evident. The temperature of the year is slightly higher than the average, but not as extreme as 2022 or 2023. Until August 31 the rain is rather scarce and the plants show fatigue, little vegetation, little grapes and small. In September it takes a radical turn to the situation, it begins to rain and the temperature drops. Between the months of September and November more than 300 liters of rain.

2024 Harvest

The harvest of 2024 begins 10 days before normal but there are two very different stages. The grapes harvested before the September rains, more mature and early harvest. And the grapes harvested after the rains, of much slower maturation.
