- Today (28 oct)
We usually start harvesting in November, depending on ripeness.
Approximate dates: they shift from year to year with the weather. We start each variety when flavour, acidity and juice convince us, and we pull it when they no longer do. Season calendar

Lanelate
Harvest approx. 5 feb → 10 may
A late Navel that takes over from Navelina in early February. Very sweet and extremely juicy; past its peak it does not change flavour.
-
Barberina
Harvest approx. 28 apr → 29 may
A mutation of València Late that closes our season in May: sweet and low in acidity. Its juice does not turn bitter even if left to stand.
