The cause of this advancement, as in almost all the south of Europe has been the extraordinary heat experienced in the month of August, being remarkable that the second half of August has been the most torrid of the Somontano region in recent years. At Viñas del Vero, the grape harvest began on the midnight of the 20th of August with the Chardonnay from Torre Lapiedra. It is noteworthy that the weather was extreme during the whole year. The winter was very cold with heavy rains. The period prior to flowering is characterized by mild temperatures, abundant rainfall and wind continued in the central hours of the day. As a result, there was a vigorous growth of the plants keeping the water reserves of the soil; this limited the development of fungal diseases and contributed to the absence of pests. The frost adhered to virtually all of the payments, which are used to progress the work of “briba” (removal of the outbreaks leftovers for control of production) which led to the flowering of the varieties at the end of may and beginning of June. The force of the vineyard and the weather allowed for a good fruit set in all varieties, which made us to foresee a great harvest in quantity. However, due to the conditions of exceptional heat and lack of rain (1.6 mm of rain, temp. media 26,2ºC y temp. maximum 37,1 ºC), we have received a few grapes especially concentrated and healthy. The harvest finished on October 6 with the last of our grapes of Garnachas in Secastilla. Characteristics of the vineyard: payments grown to get the fruit to develop Viñas del Vero Gran Vos Reserva were planted at the end of the decade of the 90’s. They are located at an altitude of something above 400 meters above the sea level and with an east-west orientation.

The fermentations were soft, slow and long, of twenty days, to extract the maximum potential from the precious grapes that we had introduced in each of the tanks. Subsequently, each of the wines performed the malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously and, after cleaning naturally, were introduced into oak barrels where they remained for 15 months.
