The winter of 2019 was cold with normal rainfall, leading to uniform budburst at the usual time. No late frosts or adverse weather events occurred. Cluster counts were high, and berry size was also favorable, aided by pre-flowering rains that contributed to a generous crop. From November—during flowering—through harvest, rainfall was 60% below the climatic average, limited to isolated, low-volume events that produced one of the most severe soil droughts in the past thirty years.

These dry conditions greatly benefited ripening, resulting in high synthesis and concentration of sugars, color, and aromas. Harvest began on January 31 and concluded on March 21. Among the red varieties, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Marselan stood out for their vivid color, freshness, and balance. In the whites, Albariño, Sauvignon Blanc, and Chardonnay excelled, showing pronounced acidity, minerality, and harmony.
