Spring brought 17% less rainfall than average, and much of the summer remained dry, with rainfall 71% below normal in January and 58% below in February. January was notably cool, while February and March saw normal temperatures with no extreme weather events. Ripening started late, mirroring the delayed start of the growing season, and progressed very slowly\u2014so much so that the first grapes for still wines were harvested on February 5, at least a week later than usual.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">By mid-March, with 60% of the harvest completed, a series of heavy rains arrived, bringing total precipitation to 38% above normal by month\u2019s end. Harvest concluded on March 29, yielding historically high quality in certain varieties and regions, while others performed slightly below their usual standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This season particularly favored varieties such as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, which reached truly exceptional quality. Albari\u00f1o once again proved to be perfectly adapted to Uruguay\u2019s terroir, producing fruit of outstanding purity. \u201cAlbari\u00f1o was fantastic this year, but what really stood out for me were Chardonnay and Pinot Noir,\u201d noted Santiago Deicas in his report, emphasizing the vintage\u2019s remarkable character. \u201cI believe this is probably the best harvest I\u2019ve ever seen for these varieties,\u201d he added\u2014a milestone moment that highlights the success of the 2024 vintage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Despite the challenges of a slow ripening season and the mid-March rains, the winery demonstrated its ability to adapt and thrive, achieving optimal picking conditions even after the weather shift.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The distinctiveness of the 2024 vintage lies in its lower-than-usual sugar concentrations, which delayed harvest but proved beneficial for Tannat and Cabernet Sauvignon. These varieties developed excellent polyphenolic and aromatic concentration without excessive sugar production, resulting in balanced wines with alcohol levels below the historical average.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Some varieties, such as certain Sauvignon Blanc and Merlot parcels, were more affected by the delayed ripening and did not reach their typical potential. However, the rest of the varieties equaled or surpassed the historical average in quality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The 2024 harvest stands as a testament to the passion and craftsmanship that define our winery\u2014where quality remains the only true measure of success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 50PX !important;padding-right : 20% !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 50PX !important;padding-left : 20% !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-2{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-2 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-3{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 20px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6286","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6286","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6286"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6286\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6287,"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6286\/revisions\/6287"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/familiadeicas.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
