Bordeaux: The 2022 Bordeaux vintage is widely regarded as very good to excellent, with critics comparing it to strong recent years like 2019, 2020 and 2016. Warm, dry conditions produced small, concentrated berries with deep colour and firm tannins, while cool nights helped preserve freshness and balance. The best wines show rich fruit, structure and ageing potential, though quality can vary between producers.
Douro Wines: In the Douro for table wines, 2022 was extremely warm and dry, with rainfall well below average and earlier harvesting. This gave intense red wines with ripe fruit, lower acidity and moderate alcohol, though yields were generally down. Where vineyards had cooler sites or good soil, wines maintained freshness and balance.
Italian: In Italy 2022, most key regions enjoyed good weather and quality. According to broader vintage overviews, Italian areas such as Piedmont and Tuscany delivered very good wines with balanced fruit and structure, while quality across the country was generally positive.
Portugal: The 2022 Port vintage came from one of the hottest, driest seasons on record, leading to small, concentrated grapes with advanced ripeness and structure. Although the year was challenging, many leading houses still declared 2022 Vintage Ports or excellent single‑quinta releases, showing deep flavour, firm tannins and good ageing potential.
