THEMA / NEW WINES / 2014 HARVEST

Drama

Temperatures remained lower than usual during the winter months leading up to fruit set, which delayed the beginning of harvest. Fortunately, during the maturation period warm, dry conditions with normal temperatures and suitable rainfall helped balance grape ripening. 
Production will be 10% lower than the previous year, mostly a result of low temperatures and high rainfall during flowering. 
The quality of the grapes was good, although in a few plots some bunches were infected by botrytis and powdery mildew. 
This year's wines will, in general, have less alcohol, but crisp acidity and good aromatic character.
