Ribera del Duero registered in 2018 the second largest harvest in its history. It took place after a 2017 of heavy frosts that caused the worst drought in history, when there was a loss of up to 60% of the harvest. 2018 was a year in which the rain arrived at a later stage, but when it did the rainfall was higher than the average. In terms of temperatures, it has been a fresh campaign without extremely high temperatures in July and August allowing for a good vegetative development of the plants which together with the good water balance in the soil has helped the vineyards produce large amounts of grapes. Slight rainfall by the end of the harvest also allowed for exceptional maturation making it easier to extract the compounds from the grapes.
