TASTING

After a break in 2021, 2022 was again a very mild year. Only in April were the temperatures below the monthly average of the last ten years. In almost all other months, records for warmth and mildness were broken. Another striking fact: the drought, the water deficit started in winter and accompanied the whole vegetative season, only 47 mm of rain fell in July and August. The vine, because of its resilience but also because of its Mediterranean origins, resisted these extreme conditions particularly well. We also had to change our way of working in the vineyard: more tillage to avoid competition from grass and less intervention on the foliage to keep the shade and protect the grapes. The harvest started on August 25th and ended on October 26th for our sweet wine.
