2021 began with the heaviest snowfall in recent years, leaving the vines covered in snow for many days. The
spring welcomed us with a frost that, although not catastrophic, marked what was to follow.
A cool summer, with few days of extreme heat and a late, wet and cold harvest.
The rains came in September and forced us to remove leaves and fight against botrytis.
We finally finished the harvest on the 15th of October, although we left a large part of the crop in the field.
2021 is austerity, cold, elegance and finesse. It is undoubtedly the great vintage of Gredos in recent times.
