VINTAGE CHARACTERISTICS
2019 has been a slightly colder year than average, with a fairly cool spring and a mild summer. In terms of precipitations, the earth received a good amount of water, especially in spring. This induced a slower ripening which in turn resulted in more color, softer tannins, good acidity and a great balance. 2019 is definitely one of the best vintages of the last 10 years. September 13 marked the beginning of the harvest.
