The '88 harvest was preceded by a dry winter and an exceptionally wet spring. The heavy rains hindered the fruit set enormously so that the yields for that year would be small. The important months of July and August made up for a lot. They were warm and dry and the harvest - although limited - made a very healthy impression. Notes made on Terra Feita during the picking in mid-September of 1988 show how high the quality of the fruits is: "beautifully ripe grapes, rich in sugars and well concentrated in depth and color."
