The 2006 harvest was influenced by a rainy winter and spring as well as a dry summer with high temperatures. However, the most decisive factor that year was the heavy rains at the end of September that led to an important increase in the berry size. To this day it is still the most abundant harvest ever in Ribera del Duero. In spite of this, we can conclude that the sanitary conditions and the quality of our grapes exceeded the high standards demanded.
