Climate in vintage year
|
2018 was a dry, warm year with an average annual air temperature of 21ºC. The heat resulted in higher sugar content in berries and a higher alcohol content in wine. 2019 - a cold spring preceded a hot summer and autumn with temperatures above the annual average. The Podravje region, unlike the rest of Slovenia, was not affected by hail. Wineries were able to start harvesting three weeks later than in 2018, in cooler weather, allowing the berries to pick up more aromatic hydrocarbons and produce brightly acidic wines with growth potential.
