Cabernet Sauvignon. The winter of 2017 was particularly rainy and quite cold, followed by a very mild spring. The exceptional amounts of water available gave rise to excellent leaf mass. All this was particularly important for the proper development of the fruit. The weather in the last stages of ripening was more aggressive, with considerable water shortages throughout the summer and very high temperatures. This brought forward the ripening of the grapes 7-10 days, damaging production slightly but ensuring exceptionally healthy grapes for us.
