The year 2021 was quite rainy, indicating that in the warmer and drier months, we would not have problems with soil water shortage.
We started manual harvesting for the reds on September 6th in the plots that were most affected by the summer heat. We then interrupted with the arrival of rain, and the reaction of the other plots was fantastic. Except for some Touriga Franca that didn’t react very well, the other grape varieties appreciated that rain, and with some patience, we ended up with fantastic grape quality at altitude. Every harvest is different, and this was no exception. 2021 was another challenging and atypical year, where the grapes at altitude ultimately benefited from the observed climatic conditions.
