Artero Reserva

01/06

Vintage

During this year we have contemplated how we went from one of the most atypical harvests in history, as was the 2017 characterized by the drought, to a diametrically opposed harvest, where the generous rains and cool temperatures, have delayed the harvest and left its imprint on the wines that we will enjoy in the coming months and years. The vine continues its cycle during a summer with normal temperatures and rains, without noticeable meteorological accidents and supported by a more than satisfactory water reserve. The maturation takes place slowly and although the maturation conditions are ideal, moist soil and moderate temperatures (with high contrast between day and night), the accumulated delay prepares us for a very late harvest. The first wines confirm a harvest of good quality, with wines less alcoholic and lighter and more acidic than previous vintages, with a predominance of fresh notes, citrus in white and red fruits in the case of red wines.
