March and April were<br />unseasonably cold months and for this reason only at the end of April we did start to see<br />the beginnings of budding. The cooler temperature persisted into May and therefore<br />blooming officially started only the second half of June which is typically 2 weeks later<br />than usual. June and July were hotter and more humid than the average which caused big<br />challenges in the vineyards. Fortunately, at the end of summer we had exceptional weather<br />- dry and hot and also during the whole month of Seprember we had perfect conditions.<br />Harvest started 10 days later than usual on September 26th. Cool nights and hot days<br />continued and made for uniformed, healthy grapes with average alcohol levels and higher<br />than average acidic levels.<br />
