Winemaking Details
In 2024, the Douro Valley experienced a balanced viticultural season marked by a cool, wet winter that replenished water reserves, followed by a mild spring that encouraged even budburst. Late Spring and Summer brought steady warmth and low disease pressure, allowing for gradual ripening. A heat spike between the end of July and early August was mitigated by timely canopy management - canopy management is getting more and more important as heat waves are more frequent. Our vineyards presented healthy and fresh fruit, irrigated a few times in July and August. The grapes were in perfect condition when harvested.
