Weather / Climate

Vintage description
2021 was a very warm year with good rainfall. A relatively warm and dry winter caused a slight cooling in the spring, delaying bud break. However, the real rain didn't arrive until May, which somewhat dampened the flowering. March and June were particularly dry, and the first heat wave began in June. July and August had relatively higher rainfall. By the time of the harvest in mid-to late September, the rain stopped again, and we had very sunny weather. The above-average warm weather continued until the end of the year.
