The harvest started earlier than usual in the Dão region, in the heart of the Serra da Estrela. This advance is due to what is described as a "precocious viticultural year", resulting from particular weather conditions that influenced the vine's cycle.
The Vila Nova de Tazem Winery is the entity referenced in the article as the source of this information, indicating that the harvest work began early in the region. The winery, located in this area of the Serra da Estrela, justifies the advance of the harvest with the specific meteorological conditions that characterized this year.
The early start of the harvest in Dão contrasts with the traditional calendar of the region, where the harvest normally occurs later. This phenomenon reflects the direct influence of weather conditions on the development of the vineyards and the ideal moment for harvesting the grapes.
