CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
The 2019 vintage was a very extraordinary vintage in El Valle de La Raja, with an unexpected end. a meteorological phenomenon called DANA. After a dry winter, we had an excellent spring and summer. Allowing our monastrell to mature to perfection. However, the harvest was affected by DANA, with heavy rains that affected the entire Mediterranean. Luckily, those rains were less intense in the “Altiplano” of Murcia. Due to that. we delaved the start of the harvest till 25th of September, finishing the 100,000 kg of grapes, on the 15th of October, which is almost a month, giving us the possibility to make a very careful selection.
