Harvest Report 2019

We call this harvest «el Año Mendocino.» the Mendoza year. After a small, cool vintage in 2017, which we refer to as «El Año Bordelés» (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy 2016: «el Año Bourguignon» (the Burgundian year). we finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.
