To explain the new vintages of Viña Pedrosa we want to go back to 2018 in which the winter was cold, temperatures reached 12 Celsius degrees below cero. Temperatures kept cold in February and March. Winter ended with lots of rain and the spring was also rainy.
The bud breaking started in late April.
Heavy rain stoped at the end of June and temperatures started to go up. The weather conditions were ideal for a generous harvest.
In July, temperatures were lower than normal that is why the vines followed a fast growing. It was also helped by abundant water reserves.
In September temperatures were warm and in October were higher than normal because of that the vines whit less bunches ripened fast.
The berries size was bigger than normal.
Harvest started October 8th and finished October 22th.
Vintage 2018 was rated as VERY GOOD by Ribera del Duero Regulatory Council.
