Agriculture

The 2023 wine year in the Vinho Verde region was a year of high precipitation and heat. Therefore, work in the vineyard was challenging. During the vegetative rest period (Autumn – Winter), higher values of temperature and precipitation were recorded. Thus, there was no lack of water throughout the cycle.
In Spring and Summer, both precipitation and temperature remained high, leading to a significant advance in ripening. Yields were slightly lower, which led to more profound and balanced ripenings. Historically, we started harvesting in August, with healthy grapes of great potential.
