Last year was very challenging for us. The winter was quite cold and brought a lot of rain. The spring was also rainy, with moderate mildew pressure, but the vines responded well to the water requirements at the beginning of the growing season. In the summer, temperatures were mild, with only a few days above 38 degrees. Due to the slow maturation, 2021 was a year of great harvests, which allowed us to make a rich, high-quality wine,” adds Nuno Franco, Head of Production at Casa Relvas
