2023 has been a rather unstable vintage, with a rainy spring that brought with it mildew, which attacked the plants, reducing production from the beginning of the cycle. We had good flowering, especially in the Hondarrabi Zerratia, and the subsequent fruit maturation was optimal.In the month of July ripening slowed down, with many cloudy days and some rain, however August arrived, and everything changed. The sun and heat were the protagonists, causing the grapes to return to a good ripening rate. The storms of the first week of September made it difficult to start the harvest that we began on September 14th. From then on, the weather was good with clear skies and cold nights that made it possible for the end of the harvest to be excellent. A complex year full of contrasts
