2020 HARVEST
From 08 September to 03 October In 2020, spring was brought forward to the months of January and February. The technical team’s decision to delay the cycle by pruning in March was the right one, thus avoiding production losses in the face of the late April frosts that occurred in the demarcated Dão region. During the spring there was above normal rainfall, which proved to be very positive in restoring the desired water levels in the soil and for the perfect development of the rest of the vegetative cycle. The summer was hot, anticipating the harvest. Balanced ripeness and very concentrated musts. This harvest proved to be generous in terms of quantity and quality of grapes. All the refined technical work and knowing how to wait for the right moment, taking into account the search for the best natural balance, combined with careful control of the phenolic ripeness of the grapes, allowed us to create unique wines. The generous fruit, precision, complexity and high concentration, combined with the elegance and fluidity of the musts, have enabled us to produce wines with a profile and richness that mirror the unique terroir that gave rise to them
