About the Vintage:
The harvest of 2020 was like no other, apart from Covid-19 putting a spoke in the world’s wheel, the weather conditions dictated a different scene altogether. There was an increase in precipitation in winter, a temperature-drop in June, with moderate temperatures in July and August. The harvest began with the grapes reaching an optimized maturation, moderate alcohol level and accurate acidity.
