The vintage
A challenging year, facing extreme drought conditions. The resilience of the grape varieties was impressive. Post-harvest, the initial tastings have alleviated all concerns. In terms of quality, 2022 appears to be a top vintage, especially for red wines with beautiful colours and structure due to excellent maturity levels.
