Description
Launched for the first time in the UK in November 2019, Guaspari is a young, multi award-winning winery located on the site of an old coffee plantation in the highlands of São Paulo state.
Despite the vineyard’s high altitude (900-1300m), it is usually too hot and/or wet to harvest during February or March, the months when the harvest would typically occur in the more southerly Serra Gaúcha hills.
To avoid this scenario, an additional pruning of the vines takes place, thus delaying the harvest until the cooler and drier winter months of July and August, and allowing the grapes to ripen more slowly before they reach maturity. Read Decanter review (Oct 20):
