We call this harvest el Ao Mendocino, the Mendoza year. After a small, cool vintage in 2017, which we refer to as El Ao Bordels (the Bordeaux Year) and a small, very cool and rainy 2016: el Ao Bourguignon (the Burgundian year), we finally got a vintage that is classically Mendozan: dry, cool, sunny and with moderate yields in every region from the lowest to the highest altitudes.
