Harvest 2021, the return to the Atlantic vintages

Harvest 2021, the return to the Atlantic vintages
 
 

A few days after starting the vintage, the 2021 harvest at Bodegas El Paraguas will go down in history as one of the most Atlantic since 2012. Although Galicia said goodbye to November with twenty dry days and eight of them above twenty degrees, December showed the first winter faces. After a very cold January, with the snowfall of Filomena in Madrid, the rest of the month was more pleasant, although very rainy. February was very mild in temperature, but with a lot of rain.
With bud break, March was the hottest and driest month since 2016, with an April combining sunny and rainy days throughout the month. May was characterized by the typical instability of spring and June started dry until the middle of the month, when a continuous process of good days alternated with bad days began. July was the month with the lowest temperatures since 2012 and, finally, August exhibited its most summery character, benefiting the ripening of the bunches of a harvest that promises to be like the old ones, with a strong Atlantic character.

Due to the magnificent evolution that El Paraguas Atlántico is showing in the bottle, added to the high scores of specialized critics, 2019 aims to be one of the most important vintages in the history of Bodegas El Paraguas together with 2018, 2014 and 2011. A vintage of aging, to keep for many years.
It is for this reason that the parcel wines of this vintage touched by the gods produced by Bodegas El Paraguas, La Sombrilla 2019 and Fai un Sol de Carallo 2019, aspire to levels never seen before in the Galician winery. The previous tastings attest to this, exhibiting themselves as wines of great length, complexity and participated by a wide range of smells.
With these wickers, the Galician winery has decided not to start marketing them until the end of winter, when La Sombrilla 2019 and Fai un Sol de Carallo 2019 will be more friendly and whole for tasting. Two white wines in which the Treixadura variety is the main protagonist.
