Viña Bosconia Red Reserva 2000
- Características of the vintage:
- Recorded by The Regulating Council as GOOD.
There was a frost on March 30th that got to 2 degrees below cero. However
it didn’t affected to the total quantity of the Harvest. There was as
well another frost on April the 6th but didn’t damage either. Therefore,
we harvested 995.044 kilos in our four vineyards. This was considered
a record in quantity. In relation to quality for us it was a very good
year. We started the harvest in advance to the average of Rioja: September
28th while the normal would have been October 12th. Harvest was not easy
since the maturation of the fruit was irregular so it lasted a lot, until
November the 5th. And only because we were patience and we risk during
the harvest we obtain very healthy and matured grapes with a very good
quality average.
