After the vines’ dormant period in the winter, the spring will bring bud-burst in April and flowering in May. The berries will be fully set by June. Summer temperatures will reach around 29-35ēC during the day, and some 15-17ēC at night. Our vines are kept under close scrutiny, which will become even more intense in September, when each variety is carefully analysed to find its optimum level of ripening and to decide the exact day for its picking. Although over ripened on purpose, Moscatel will be the first to arrive at our cellars around mid September. Merlot and Tempranillo will come a few days later, then the Garnacha. Graciano and Cabernet will close the harvest.
