There remain only a few weeks till the 2017
harvest and things are looking promising for a good crop both in terms of quality
and quantity. The season has been very dry and quite hot, leading some to
speculate on a small crop, especially as there has been very little dewfall to
fatten up the grapes. Still, this has helped stave off diseases of the vine
such as mildew which was a major problem last year thanks to late and heavy
rain followed by over a month of the hot dry Levante wind. It is still early to
say for sure as much depends on what happens between now and the harvest, but
for the moment the vines are very healthy.
