Attems - Chardonnay 2021 cl75

Description

January and February 2021 were characterized by a couple of weeks where the minimum temperatures remained steadily below 0°C, contributing to delaying the vegetative awakening, despite March having been a decidedly mild month. Only the Chardonnay vineyards at the top of our hills began to bud at the beginning of April; given the warm microclimate, they were not affected by the return of cold in the middle of the month. The first vegetative phases were slowed down by a cold May with rainy days, while the sun in June stimulated rapid growth of the vegetation, developing a correct leaf surface. The flowering of the Chardonnay began 10 days later than the historical average. July and August were months characterized by significant temperature variations, with sufficient rainfall to hydrate and maintain correct vegetative-productive development in all varieties. We harvested the Chardonnay on the hills already at the beginning of September, about 15 days later the plains of the vineyard called Dolincis were harvested.
