| Remarks: | "c" stands for "clay". Vintage 2003 was very dry but we were able to leave grapes hanging longer in a section of our non-irrigated vineyard, where higher content of clay were visually noticeable on vine's condition and also confirmed by grape analysis thanks to the greater capacity of holding water by clay in contrast to gravel. |
