RESEARCH LINES
Study of water supply.
Objetive
Climatic characterization of the viticultural cycles. Compare the current cycle with historical data to understand the current year. Build trends in climate behavior. To correlate the climatic march with the chronology of the phenological stages in the different terroirs. Enrich climate data to other research projects for greater understanding of these.
Results
With the climatic data that we have on our farms (6-10 years), weekly reports are prepared to understand the progress of the present cycle and annual reports to characterize the cycle

Objetive
To know the current water status and future projection of our aquifers from which we take water.
Results
Obtain information on the quantity and quality of water from the aquifers from which water is taken for irrigation. The information obtained is used to put together irrigation plans. In conjunction with the winter climate data, projections of water supply for irrigation can be put together on all the group's farms. Annual irrigation plans are adjusted according to water availability. A planting plan is designed according to the water supply that will be available. Varieties and rootstocks are chosen that adapt to projected water availability.
