Vintage Characteristics
As in previous winters 2018 was pretty dry with very little snowfall on the Andes.
However, the spring months were within the temperature and precipitation annual
averages. A dry and windy period during the flowering cycle delivered an excellent fruit
set as well as healthy and perfectly shaped clusters. During summer, February recorded
unusually low precipitations and an abundance of sun which generated a strong sugar
synthesis. March turned outdo be cooler than usual which preserved the acidity, slowed
down the sugars and allowed a good phenolic ripening. At harvest time, the grapes
showed good maturity and balance with slightly less concentration and a little more
acidity than in previous years. Despite its challenges, the 2019 vintage offers our
signature taste profile with a little extra freshness.
