Vintage

The 2018 harvest at Vina Real began on 1st and ended on 26th October. The year began with a dry autumn, dragging out one of the worst droughts in recent years, but when winter arrived it brought much needed rain, cold weather, frosts and snowfalls, which all used to be much more common. The spring that followed was cold and wet but was suceeded by a warm dry summer.

Winemaking

Grapes were destemmed and fermented in stainless steel tanks for 10-12 days with temperatures between 26-28°C. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is placed in American and French oak barrels for 13-14 months.
