Our overall impression of the 2020 vintage during Primeurs was that the 2020 vintage was a good vintage with many exceptional wines among both the finest Châteaux and among those less-well-known Châteaux in the less well-known Bordeaux Appellations.
Overall, the growing season of 2022 has had very few heat waves and none of more than three or four days. My main concerns with the Godello this year was the smaller number of clusters per shoot, as it relates to my goals to achieve a certain number of gallons to fill a wonderful Austrian oak cask. It was specifically to age to Godello in the methods I witnessed in Valdeorras Spain.
