Guía Peñín 2023 – July 2023

Vintage 2022

The climate year of 2022 will be remembered as very warm and dry, with temperatures above the average of recent years from May and throughout the summer. The lack of rainfall is also notable. Although the grateful storms in July helped stop the heat stroke, the lack of water became evident. Despite these conditions, the vines showed a firm resistance to water stress, and marked drought only in the basal leaves of the most suffered vineyards, but kept the fruit in perfect condition. With maturity but also with acidity! A year to verify how resilient the Priorat vineyard is!
