September 16th, official start of the harvest in D.O. Ribeira Sacra

---

D.O. Ribeira Sacra plenary session sets September 16th as the recommended date for the general start of the harvest in the Denomination of Origin, predictably extending the grape harvest until middle October.

The results of the maturation controls in the vineyards that the Denomination's technical team had been developing since the end of August, made it possible to determine the state of the grape and define the official date for the start of the harvest in this campaign.

In the last vintage, the most abundant of D.O. Ribeira Sacra, the recommended date for the beginning of the harvest was September 19th, although a winery began with the collection work in some plots on August 28th as this year Ronsel do Sil did on August 26th in the Ribeiras do Sil sub-area.
