The 2021 agricultural year, in terms of temperature, recorded values corresponding to the average of the last 20 years, while regarding precipitation, the values recorded were below the average values for the same period.
In the spring and into early summer, temperatures were higher than in 2018, leading to a considerable advancement in the vine's phenology, which resulted in the harvest being brought forward by about 2 weeks compared to 2018.
The summer saw lower temperatures during the ripening period, promoting a constant and homogeneous ripening process, ideal conditions for a raw material of excellent quality.
