NOTES ON THE YEAR The winter of 2022 was characterised by low temperatures and almost no rainfall. Budding took place in the first week of April, on average with previous vintages. Spring continued with above-average temperatures that favoured vegetative development and early flowering. May and June were dry with classic summer temperatures. The rains that arrived at the end of July and August allowed the vines to ripen in a balanced and constant manner. Harvest began in the first ten days of September.
