The Story
The 2021 vintage in Ribera del Duero presented both challenges and rewards. The year began with the Filomena squall, a winter storm that brought heavy snowfall and rain, ensuring good water reserves in the soils. However, the summer was dry and warm, with minimal rainfall. This placed some stress on the vines, but the deep clay soils helped retain moisture, allowing the grapes to reach full ripeness.
