Winter season with moderate temperatures and no risk of frost, with some snow at the end of the season. The copious amounts of rain that continued through the spring contributed to stocking the soil with moisture for the upcoming viticultural year and fully nourishing the grapes from our young vines. The high atmospheric humidity during the period of flowering and fertilization led to problems with the phytosanitary condition of the vines. The measures taken by us stopped them, but affected the final yield of
the harvest. A dry and hot summer, characteristic of South Saqqara, followed. The long and warm autumn combined with the low yield helped the early ripening of the grapes.
