Vintage
In 2018 the total rainfall was above the average of the last two decades, mainly due to the heavy rainfall
in the first half of the year. The average temperatures were also among the highest ever recorded by our
weather station. The summer was, however, one of the driest recorded at Lagrange since 1996. The hot, dry
weather continued through September and October for harvest time.
