   THE CLIMATE

The Climate of the region is that of a warm southern region, strongly influenced by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean whose damp westerly winds bring moisture from the sea to the vines. This moisture then falls on the vines in the form of an early morning dew, a moderating influence on the Summer heat and the hot easterly winds.

During the active period of its annual cycle, the vine is exposed to an average temperature of 17.5º Celsius. The region enjoys almost 300 days of intense, direct sunlight per annum. The average rainfall is 600 lt./m2, most of which falls between the months of October and May, contributing to the reserves of groundwater that the plant will draw upon in the dry Summer months. The month of September is usually dry, a positive factor in both the grape's ripening process and in its general health.

These climatic conditions favour both the optimum development of the plants and a perfect ripening of the grapes right up to the moment they are harvested.
