Following the same trend as the rest of the north of Spain, flowering was two weeks early. This was followed by unseasonably cool weather during the summer months. The weather slowed everything down until right before harvest when the sun came back out and rushed the sugar levels back up. Rains did come down two weeks before harvest keeping everything in check and creating the conditions for a very fresh wine.
The diligent work of vineyard management combined with the Dominio do Bibei's insistence on making a simple, natural wine payed off as we are seeing extremely low pH levels with great acidity. This could turn out to be an exceptional year and only time will tell.
