Vintage

In Marqués de Vargas, the winter of 2016-2017 was particularly dry. The vine budded early as a consequence of the high thermal conditions at the end of winter. A summer spring with no rain in the month of April and very high temperatures in the months of May and June accentuated the precocity of this harvest. Very good climatological and physiological conditions for flowering and setting, correct vegetative and health balance of the entire vineyard that was treated as a whole. Veraison development very homogeneous and early for all varieties.
