2024 harvest, another vintage with great dedication to the vineyard

With just a few days to go before the grape harvest begins at Bodegas El Paraguas and if nature does not dictate another sentence, 2024 is announced as a more generous harvest than the scarce 2021, 2022 and 2023. A vintage in which Bodegas El Paraguas has incorporated a new vineyard in the Avia Valley whose bunches will help to form the final blend of El Paraguas Atlántico 2024.
After an early harvest in 2023, September and October broke temperature records, until the October's long weekend, when the first trains of storms arrived with abundant rain, with memorable precipitation during the following months. At the end of January we encountered temperatures above usual for that time of year and an anticyclone that made January the warmest ever recorded in Galicia. But February had low temperatures, typical of the season, and March was the rainiest of the 21st century.
April offered a spring with higher temperatures than usual, until April 24th, when a polar front arrived and lasted a couple of days, although temperatures did not drop below 0º C. Temperatures in the region until the end of May were below the usual average for recent vintages, with episodes of rain and much sacrifice in the vineyard. From May 26th, finally, the Azores Anticyclone set in and dry weather began, but only for a few days, because the rest of the spring continued to be humid and with the presence of mildew. Diseases did not stop in the first half of July, with a humid and mild summer. Finally, from the second half of July, heat waves began nationwide that also bathed our vineyards, which continued in August. At this point, we expect a longer than usual harvest.
