Pago de Cirsus Cuvée Especial

Vintage

The campaign began on September 12 with the Chardonnay harvest. After a summer in which temperatures were lower than usual and a late summer with a lot of rain, the start of the season was delayed by approximately 10 days compared to previous years. These factors led to a slower ripening while respecting the integrity of the aromas, particularly in white grapes. For red grapes, these climatic factors also benefited a complete phenolic ripening and since the production was 10% lower than in previous years, the quality of our grapes was maximum. The harvest culminated with the Cabernet Sauvignon harvest in the last week of October and followed by the Late harvest of Muscat in mid-November. At the end of the harvest season, we have verified that all the care that we give the vineyards 365 days in our estate and that it is a single vineyard body is ideal for quality objectives, this allows us to obtain wines from the highest quality, which we seek every year.
