Cold weather could jeopardize next harvest in Spain

The wicked cold weather conditions sweeping all across Europe, with snowfalls and frost in various points of the wine regions, can cause damage to the buds, eventually endangering the success of the upcoming harvest.

Spanish’s winemakers look astonished to their vineyards, in many cases completely covered by snow and frost that prolong the branches of plants, transforming the fields in an almost somber white table cloth. The snow could cause a catastrophe in the viticulture of Castile La Mancha in Spain.

Castile La Mancha is the wine region with the largest vineyards acreage in Spain (also in - the wine world). Today most of it is at the mercy of snow storms, and the common white horizon characterizing a southern climate.

The home lands of Don Quixote have all the signs of climate change, and it is feared, more quickly than expected.
