This year the harvest was a little late and was delayed by about ten days compared to 2018. As everywhere else, the June heat wave and the summer drought were not unrelated to the lowest yields recorded. Fortunately, quality was not affected. Although very small, the grapes are more concentrated and by their perfect maturity.
