The 2016 vintage will long be remembered for its rare qualitative excellence. The harvest period has seen climatic conditions that have followed the standards of the seasons, without presenting any weather anomaly, allowing the exceptionally healthy grapes to reach perfect and uniform maturation, in accordance to the usual time periods. An adequate thinning of the bunches in August has allowed the plant to channel all of its energy on fewer bunches during the last 40 days, resulting in an excellent maturation that has also enjoyed sunny days and cool nights. Harvest has taken place according to standard time (October 6-12th). An outstanding vintage endowed with great structure, complex flavors and remarkable longevity.
