The spring was extremely wet and cold. Budburst occurred with a delay of about 3 weeks. The months of March through June had above average rainfall and kept the vegetative cycle delayed until the ripening period, but restored the water levels in the soil that became available to the plants. However, periods of heavy rain and some weather phenomena caused cryptogamic diseases difficult to control with great loss of production that, in some vineyards, was total. Maturation occurred in dry and very hot weather. Harvest started in early September for the white varieties and mid-September for the red varieties. The good weather that lasted until the end of the harvest made it a healthy vintage, with the grapes entering the winery in good condition, resulting in balanced musts and very good quality wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker \u003c\/strong\u003eMaria de Serpa Pimentel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECNICAL SHEET\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/files\/FT_PACHECA_PORTO_VINTAGE_2019_EN.pdf?v=1741023469\" title=\"Download Ficha Técnica\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePORT VINTAGE 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContains sulfites.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pacheca Wine Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51608906039636,"sku":"","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/4957\/products\/pacheca_vintage_2018png.png?v=1594160640","url":"https:\/\/pacheca.com\/products\/pacheca-port-vintage-2018","provider":"Pacheca Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
