Summer holiday
August 14th, 2012 | Bodega
Tomorrow we close our doors for a short break. August 15th is a national holiday in Spain anyway, so we decided to make it a super-long ‘bridge’, re-opening again on Monday 27th August. We had planned a similar break last year but had to cancel. As you may recall our harvest actually started at the end of August in 2011 – quite a contrast to 2012. As I look out of my window now the sky is grey, heavy and full of rain, not at all what we would expect (or want) at this time of year. Our summer so far has already been quite cool, not rising much above the mid-20’s (68-75°F), although we have had a bit of sunshine over the last couple of weeks. We know for a fact that the vintage will be much smaller this year, the only thing that no one can predict is the quality.
As you can see from today’s photo our staff are already packed and ready to go. (Any car enthusiasts will recognise this as an old Renault R8 made during the 1960’s). Whatever happens we just hope that the sun shines for everyone!
