However, rainfall was higher than the previous year, which recorded only 51 mm during the same period.

The winter was irregular, alternating between mild and cold conditions, with budbreak occurring at normal timing due to warmer October temperatures.

Spring was dry, with only 7 mm of rainfall between October and December, and temperatures fluctuated during flowering and fruit set, causing some coulure in Cabernet Sauvignon.

The summer was extremely hot, with temperatures averaging 2°C above historical norms and the hottest March ever recorded in Chile.

April and May also remained warmer than usual, accelerating ripening.

Harvest began early, with Cabernet Sauvignon picked on March 13 (8 days earlier than 2022 and 2 weeks earlier than average).
