GROWING CONDITIONS

The 2023-2024 vintage is considered a fresh and wet season, for its moderate temperatures all over the growing period and a very important amount of rain concentrated mainly during the winter (June to August). We had an historical amount of rain, with 1.008 mm from June to August, that is 70% more than the historical. All over the season, we had higher lower temperatures (+54%), with a winter with higher minima and maxima, so the bud break was early and so the flowering, for about 10 days. The springtime was also wet, with a wider thermal amplitude and a moderate raise in maximum temperatures and many overcast days (-5% average sunlight). No frost or heat waves where recorded. The summer brought moderate maxima and higher minima with normal sunlight. The fruit set and veraison where quite uneven and delayed between 5 to 12 days.
