In 2019, the recorded levels of precipitation were low, which was positively reflected in the lower incidence of diseases in the vineyard. In average terms, the temperature was similar to the one of the last decades. However, and starting in Spring, the temperature increase promoted a faster development in the phenological states of the grapevine until Summer, which led to an anticipation of the harvest in 2 weeks compared to the previous year. Between the veraison and the harvest, the milder temperatures made the maturation evolve in a constant and homogeneous way. On 26th of August, and after a careful evaluation of the moon phases and its influence on the sep circulation from the roots through the grapes, were
harvested the grapes from the oldest plot of Alicante Bouschet.
