For the 2009 vintage, we picked verdelho on February 22nd and albarino on March 1st. Yields were suppressed by some extremely hot days, but quality is again excellent. It was bottled on July 22nd.

We picked our first tempranillo on March 8th, and it was bottled on February 4th 2010. It has received excellent private reviews prior to the release on March 22.

 

For the 2010 vintage, verdelho, “Savarino” , and tempranillo were all picked on February 7th. We are very fortunate to have been able to pick in spite of very extreme weather. While our volume will be well below 2009, the quality is very good. Our first graciano was picked on March 9th. Again due to the weather, quantities will be very limited.
