"The most critical period of the year was October 2 and 3, when heavy rains were forecast. We decided to wait, and the rains never arrived. We lost 30% of the volume in the Cabernets because of warm, dry weather at the end of the season. The grapes were quite concentrated, so that is one of the reasons we saignéed the Merlots, to make them balance," Technical Director José Sanfins explained. "Yields were 37 hectoliters per hectare, which is quite a bit better than we did in 2020. We opted for longer but gentler macerations,” he added.
