Technical characteristic
Harvest
Due to extremely high temperatures and low precipitations during grape ripening, unusual even for the conditions of our Ćemovsko polje, the technological grape ripeness was achieved very fast. The weather conditions caused slight grape dehydration, particularly for the grapes with a thin skin. Grape dehydration occurred after the full phenolic ripeness stage. In that manner, the concentration of the chemical ingredients of the berries occurred, resulting in the increased grape quality and one of our best harvests ever.
