The winter of 2024 in the Vinho Verde region experienced the highest average temperatures since 1931, but the rainfall at the beginning of the cycle helped to replenish the soil's water levels. Spring brought more rain, providing the necessary water for the vine cycle. The summer was hot and dry, but without extremes, favoring the ripening of the grapes. With immense quality, the result of very balanced ripening, this harvest resulted in wines with good presence, structure and a rich and persistent aromatic nature, combining minerality and fruit.
