An unusually wet winter followed by a cool, fog-kissed spring delayed the season’s start by nearly two weeks, providing abundant soil moisture and lush canopy growth. A mild summer with steady temperatures and minimal heat spikes encouraged slow ripening and the development of deep color, polished tannins, and bright acidity. A brief Labor Day heat spike nudged the fruit toward ideal ripeness, followed by light, inconsequential rain.

A mild summer with steady temperatures and minimal heat spikes encouraged slow ripening and the development of deep color, polished tannins, and bright acidity. A brief Labor Day heat spike nudged the fruit toward ideal ripeness, followed by light, inconsequential rain. Harvest stretched into November for Touriga Nacional and Souzão.
