CHARACTERISTICS OF THE 2014 VINTAGE
The heavy rainfall that we had in 2013/2014, well
distributed throughout the year, reasonable temperatures
in winter and a fresh month of August, enabled the vines to
maintain a healthy appearance, with lots of leaves
throughout the cycle, which protected the grapes from the
peaks of heat during the summer, safeguarding the health
of the bunches. At the end of August, the harvest was
looking wonderful, with beautiful healthy grapes and an
excellent sugar and acidity balance, ideal for making great
Port.
