A lovely harvest in Rueda in terms of quality and quantity,(especially in Castille),
thanks to favourable weather conditions. A mild spring with odd showers, followed by a hot summer with cool nights, typical of the Rueda plateau, enabled us to maintain the good health of our vines, consistent acidity and progressive growth. Thanks to an Indian summer, with just a little rain at the end of summer, beginning of autumn, we were able to pick the grapes when fully ripe and with good balance. The first Sauvignon Blancs were picked as from September 14 and thanks to good weather conditions, we were able to pick the Verdejo grapes a little later as from the 1st of October. The wines are more fatty on the palate compared to last vintage, showing volume and their typical freshness. Long maceration periods to produce wellstructured wines, ideal for our best whites, like Cuesta de Oro.
