The winter was marked by alternating warm and cold periods, with a low accumulation of hours below 10°C and rainfall between April and August 42% higher than the recent average.

Budburst occurred about a week earlier than usual and was initially uneven, though it soon became uniform as the phenological cycle normalized. No frost or hail damage was recorded. During September and October, rainfall was abundant, allowing unrestricted vegetative growth until flowering. From that point onward, the weather pattern shifted, with significantly reduced rainfall and a beneficial water deficit that persisted until the end of the harvest. November and December saw 45% less rain than average, which helped regulate vine vigor and maintain excellent plant health.

In January, the drought continued, with rainfall 8% below normal and concentrated in a single mid-month event. From then until the end of the harvest, not a single significant rainfall occurred—marking the most severe drought in recent years and creating ideal conditions for grape ripening. Harvest began on January 31 and concluded on March 16.

Thanks to this exceptional climate, nearly all varieties achieved their finest expression—bursting with aroma, rich in sugars and color, perfectly balanced in acidity, and in optimal health—allowing their full potential to shine. Without a doubt, it stands among the best harvests in our history.
