As a result, the vines budded quite early, in some cases as early as mid-March. A warm April was followed by a cooler, balanced May – the perfect conditions for the flowering of the vines. Due to the fluctuating temperatures in July, ranging from cool and foggy to warm and dry, the ripening of the grapes was delayed by up to a whole month depending on the AVA. During this time, the aromatic depth and complexity of the grapes developed. After the warm August, a 10-day heatwave hit California in early September, powerfully accelerating the ripening of the grapes that had not yet been harvested. California wines in 2022 are characterized by their density and concentration of fruit, as well as their impressive balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf you are interested in more wines from Ceritas, just ask.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"piemont express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56120587059582,"sku":"CERI-CAR-2022","price":100.76,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3474\/7428\/files\/Ceritas_Carex_Chardonnay_202.jpg?v=1763683249","url":"https:\/\/www.piemont-express.de\/en-intl\/products\/ceritas-carex-chardonnay-2022","provider":"Piemont Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
