Bico Amarelo White

Harvest

It was a year of low precipitation and elevated temperatures. During the vegetative dormancy period (Autumn-Winter), lower temperatures and higher precipitation levels were recorded, leading to the development of initial fungal pressure at budburst.

Spring and Summer were dry, with consistently high temperatures, which contributed to effective sanitary control of the grapes. The harvest period was hot and dry, resulting in good yields and high-quality fruit. The harvest of white varieties began at the end of August, with healthy grapes showing excellent balance between sugars and acidity.
