Vinifikation The 2023 vintage was a great challenge, but fortunately all grapes were harvested before the rains in March. This had no negative effects as the vines were naturally irrigated, which helped reduce the effects of water stress on the vines, allowing them to ripen better and grow optimally. The vineyards had uniform budburst and initial growth was also even, which was mainly due to the above-average maximum and minimum temperatures in September. The quality of the grapes was very good and resulted in an exceptional vintage: the length of the season, the coolness and the reduced yields led to a high-quality harvest. The Chardonnay was aged for 5 months, 45% in clay amphorae and the balance in neutral wooden barrels.
