Remarks:

2024 will be remembered as an extremely dry year in stark contrast to the wet

2023. Even some trees withered thanks to the drought which recorded less than 20mm/month in January and February. Good rain later in December and exceptionally low minimum temperatures on many days in summer saved the vintage, resulting freshness which would not remind a drought.
