A miracle vintage!<\/br>
\nAfter a wet, mild winter, weather in the spring of 2014 was similar to that of the previous year.\nHowever, summer weather was poor: cool, with regular showers.\nTo compensate for these difficult conditions, we paid extra special attention to the state of\nthe leaf canopy, which is essential for good ripening.\nThanks to the absence of rain, temperatures close to 30\u00b0C, and wonderful sunshine, the month\nof September was simply incredible. This superb weather brought about the necessary\nwater stress for good ripening. The thermal amplitude between cool night-time temperatures\nand warm daytime ones was conducive to excellent colour.
<\/br>\n\u00abThe quality of the leaf canopy and the perfect weather during the last five weeks of the\ngrowing season saved the vintage. The grapes had excellent natural concentration with a fine\nbalance between sugar and acidity. The wines are very fruity, balanced, deeply coloured, and\nhave very high-quality tannin\u00bb.<\/p>\n
