2000 Vintage
DOCa Rioja
Grape Varieties: Viura (100%), from our own vineyards.
Characteristics of the vintage:
Recorded by The Regulating Council as GOOD. There was a frost on March 30th that got to 2 degrees below zero. However it didn’t affect the total quantity of the harvest. Therefore, we harvested 995.044 kilos in our four vineyards. This was considered a record in quantity. In relation to quality, for us it was a very good year. We started the harvest in Viña Gravonia in advance to the average of Rioja: September 28th while the normal would have been October 12th. Harvest was not easy since the maturation of the fruit was irregular so it lasted until November the 5th.
