BEGINNING OF THE HARVEST

BEGINNING OF THE HARVEST

They are already here!!! After a long summer after the shadow of COVID 19, we started the harvest with high expectations and full of energy. Despite having spent much of the spring and summer confined, the field does not stand still and the vineyards have continued their normal course. In fact, this year exceptionally, and thanks to the absence of its greatest “predator” (man), we have been able to see a much higher quantity of fauna in the vicinity of our plants, such as partridges, quail, rabbits, foxes, hoopoes … roaming freely. A delight to behold and a respite from the countryside. For our part, we have not lost sight of our work in the green pruning vineyard, conduction and continuous management of the hydric stress of our vineyard. The year has been wonderful as far as the weather is concerned. Cold and not very dry autumn, followed by a spring with abundant rains. The summer was made to be prayed for and it has not been excessively warm, and has ended, as usual, with a strong storm, from which this year we have been fortunate to escape. A year without any weather incident to regret and with appropriate temperatures, which makes us anticipate a very healthy harvest, and with a wonderful ripeness of our grapes. Today, August 26, we start with the Chardonnay, which is close to the winery, thus beginning the 2020 Harvest, at Hacienda Albae. To the attackeeeee !!!!
